Edinburgh Capitals 3-2 Excel Hull Stingrays (After Shootout)
The Excel Hull Stingrays claimed just their sixth point of the Elite League season, and their first in five games, with an penalty shootout loss in Edinburgh.
The Stingrays fell behind by two goals midway through the second, thanks to goals from Owen Fussey and new signing Jeff Hutchins, before Sylvain Cloutier's side were once again forced to fight back.
Konstantin Kalmikov netted yet another and George Halkidis scored his first goal in his second appearance for the team as the understrength Rays forced overtime on the home side.
A goalless extra five minutes ensued before penalty shot misses from James Sanford, Konstantin Kalmikov and Curtis Huppe allowed Simon Lambert to snatch the second shootout win of the weekend for Edinburgh.
In losing, the Rays fell into bottom spot in the Elite League, one point behind the Capitals, who beat Sheffield in a shootout last night, having played five more games.
SOG: 34-27
PIM: 10-10
