Fife Flyers 5 - 4 Excel Hull Stingrays (PS)
The Excel Hull Stingrays tonight came back from three goals down to the Fife Flyers, taking a 4-3 third period lead before falling on penalty shots to hand the Scottish side their first league win in the top flight
Goals from Matt Siddall - after just one minute 38 seconds - Toms Hartmanis and Matt Cohen gave the Flyers a convincing 3-0 lead mid-way through the game. However, a late second period Stingrays fightback saw the Cloutier's side narrow the lead to one heading in to the final stanza with goals coming from Jereme Tendler and Derek Campbell.
6.50 into the third defenceman Dmitri Rodin leveled the scores on the powerplay before Kurtis Dulle completed the fightback, giving the Rays a deserved 4-3 lead having outshot the Flyers 20-10 in the final period and 41-25 in regular time.
A late leveller from Siddall - with less than two minutes remaining - then took the game into overtime - handing both sides a point - before a goalless overtime period and penalty shots saw the Flyers clinch their first win of the season.
