Stingrays in Devils Horrorshow (Version Two)

Cardiff Devils 7-1 Excel Hull Stingrays

For Version One, see here

The Cardiff Devils thrashed the Excel Hull Stingrays by seven goals to one for the second time in three weeks, this time in South Wales.

A close first period was settled only by a Wes Jarvis goal however the Devils came out for the second period and demolished the Stingrays with four goals, taking any momentum or form that the Stingrays had gained in the first.

Further goals from Jarvis and Brad Voth sealed the two points for the Devils, who won their third home game in a week and seem to be hitting form at the right time, before a Konstantin Kalmikov consolation goal near the end settled the scores at 7-1 once again.

The result was only made slightly better by the news that the Edinburgh Capitals had also lost, away to Nottingham, however time seems to be running out on the Stingrays playoff dreams.

SOG: 33-22
PIM: 8-4
