Coventry Blaze 6-1 Excel Hull Stingrays
The Excel Hull Stingrays suffered their first loss in three games as they were soundly beaten by six goals to one in Coventry with the victory, on the night of the Blazes 10th anniversary celebrations, maintaining their lead at the top of the Elite League.
The Blaze, in front of a decent crowd at the Skydome, quickly opened up a lead scoring three goals in the first eight minutes with two coming from Stingray killer Luke Fulghum.
Fulghum would complete his hat trick with the first of two Blaze shorthanded goals five minutes into the second before Dan Carlson added another on a Coventry penalty kill three minutes later to give the home side a five goal lead.
Sylvain Cloutier's side would finally record their first goal of the night on 38 minutes through a powerplay marker from Adam Knight, however, Derek Campbell added another Blaze goal two minutes into the third to give the Blaze a comfortable 6-1 win over the Stingrays, their eighth in eight attempts this season, in the process ending the Rays three game winning streak.
