Quick revenge as Flyers beat Stingrays in

Fife Flyers 5-1 Hull Stingrays

The Hull Stingrays were unable to close out their first four point weekend of the 12/13 season as the Fife Flyers rebounded from a 5-2 loss in Hull to gain quick revenge with a 5-1 win in Kirkcaldy.

As they did the night before in Hull, the Stingrays got the better start in the first period outshooting the Flyers 19-8 and opening the scoring through Dominic Osman's 12th minute goal, however, the two sides went in level as Fife player-coach Todd Duitaume equalised on 15.30.

The home side turned the tables in the second period - outshooting the Stingrays 22-8 - making their superiority pay, unlike the Rays in the first period, with goals from Derek Keller and Jason Pitton giving them a 3-1 lead.

The Flyers further extended their lead to 4-1 through Bobby Chaumont on 53.19 before Kris Hogg (PP) added a fifth to complete a comfortable win for Fife.
