EIHL | Fife Flyers 2 Glasgow Clan 4

The Premier Sports sp0nsored Glasgow Clan completed a four-point weekend over the Fife Flyers with a 4-2 victory in Kirkcaldy after a hostile and tight road game.

The Flyers opened the scoring through Cameron Hough as he dashed below the goal line, drawing Rasmus Tirronen off his line before shooting the puck off the netminder and over the Clan goal line.

Clan captain Deven Sideroff responded with a bullet from distance that sailed through traffic and crawled under Blake Pietila to tie the game at one.

Ross Armour played a high pass to the backdoor for Cade Neilson which he swatted out the air and dropped off perfeclty in the crease for Cole Kodsi to arrive onto and send home with a first-time finish to complete a slick move for the visitors.

In the second period, Garet Hunt was handed a five-minute major penalty and ejected from the game for violently slashing Julius Reini between the legs at the corner boards.

Clan were wasteful of their powerplay opportunity but found themselves back with the extra skater for another four minutes when Evan Dougherty lifted his stick at the wrong time and caught Armour on the head with the blade of his stick.

Neilson had to sit for two minutes for slashing during Dougherty’s double-minor but when he left the box he took the puck through the zones and sniped a third Clan goal through a tight angle to beat Pietila.

Xander Lamppa tipped Victor Bjorkung’s shot on the powerplay to get Fife back to within one in the final 10 minutes after a strong push from the hosts to get back into the game.

It didn’t matter for long though as Pietila headed to the bench in place for the extra skater and Neilson dumped his third goal of the weekend into the empty net to secure a 4-2 victory for Glasgow.

The win secured a four-point weekend for the Clan in the Motorpoint Elite League and also bagged them their third win in just nine days over their biggest rivals.
