Giants Start Well

The Giants dominated the opening period and deservedly took the lead at 7:20. Ryan Lowney carried the puck into the Stars zone and the defenceman slid the puck to Curtis Hamilton who slammed high into the Flyers net.

The Stars equalised in bizarre circumstances at 11:16 when Drydn Dow’s slapshot went wide of the net, cannoned off the back board and hit the back of Shane Owen to trickle into the Giants net.

However the visitors restored their lead at 14:51 when Liam Morgan picked out Lewis Hook at the back post and the forward finished well past Alex LeClerc.

Morgan Extends Advantage

Liam Morgan, after assisting on the Belfast second goal, posted one of his own at 32:29. David Goodwin fed the puck to Morgan who skated into the Dundee zone and fired the puck straight into the Stars goal from a tight angle.

Ward Completes Scoring

The Giants got their final period off to the best possible start when Brian Ward pounced on the loose puck following the rebound from Kevin Raine’s shot – to give the visitors a three goal lead at 40:21.
