The Trade-Mart Dundee Stars clinched their place in the Elite League Playoffs on the final day of the regular season with a 6-1 Tayside Derby win at home against Fife Flyers.

By Kris Smith

Stars Head Coach, Marc LeFebvre branded the moment as a “great accomplishment” for his side as they booked their ticket into the postseason and they will face league winners, Belfast Giants over two legs next weekend in the quarter-finals.

The Stars needed only one point from their final game to secure their spot and they got off to the perfect start as Philippe Sanche tipped Kyle Pouncy’s shot past Janis Voris in the Fife goal, inside the first four minutes.

Dundee would then double their lead on 11 minutes with a powerplay goal as Drydn Dow moved down the right flank and the Stars captain buried the puck into the Fife goal from the back post.

The Stars then added a third goal five minutes later when Fife-born blueliner, Craig Moore scored from distance after a perfectly cut-back pass from Spencer Naas.

 

 

In the second period, the Flyers would have their chances as the home team took a few penalties but their powerplay unit faltered and they failed to make their seldom opportunities count.
