Matt Carter grabbed the decider in Panthers’ 3-2 shoot-out victory over Belfast Giants, while Alex Nikiforuk’s second goal of the game secured a 3-2 win against Fife Flyers.

That result completed a miserable weekend for the Flyers who also fell 6-5 on home ice against Braehead Clan – Scott Pitt bagged the winner for the visitors.

Pavel Vorobyev was the star of the show with four goals during Edinburgh Capitals’ 6-4 home victory over Braehead.

Manchester Storm triumphed 5-1 at home to Belfast, but they failed to follow up at Dundee as the Stars claimed a 6-3 success – Brett Switzer scored three for the home team.
