The Excel Hull Stingrays tonight put six goals past former netminder Ladislav Kurdna as they beat playoff rivals the Dundee Stars by six goals to one in the two sides first meeting at the Hull Arena in exactly five years.
In a chippy affair, which saw Dundee receive 64 minutes in penalties, goals from Andrew Coburn, Jason Silverthorn, Trevor Read, Kurtis Dulle and a double from player-coach Sylvain Cloutier eased the home Stingrays to a routine win over their playoff rivals on Matt Suderman's first appearance in the Hull, having initially signed in the city this summer, and Ladislav Kurdna's return.
The result, combined with Braehead's unlikely shootout victory over Nottingham leaves the Stingrays still two points behind the Scottish side but with four games in hand to claim the much coveted sixth spot.
