Stingrays shutout in Belfast

Belfast Giants 4-0 Excel Hull Stingrays

The Excel Hull Stingrays were shut out for the first time in the Sylvain Cloutier era as they travelled to Dundonald to take on the Belfast Giants and were soundly beaten 4-0 by the home side.

A double from Colin Shields and goals from Brandon Benedict and Craig Peacock were enough to seal the win for the Northern Irish side and send the Giants into joint second place.

The Stingrays, on the back of two losses, tried hard to create chances, firing 30 shots on the Belfast net, but failed to beat GB netminder Stephen Murphy, who stood tall for the Giants to claim the shutout.

SOG: 39-39
PIM: 8-4
