The Trade-Mart Dundee Stars were unable to break their winless run as they fell to another defeat on Sunday night, with a 5-2 loss to Cardiff Devils being the latest in a seven-game drought.

By Kris Smith

The Stars welcomed the Devils to Tayside and Dundee would go 1-0 up in the first three minutes as a smart pass from Brendan Harms behind the net found Zach Tsekos alone and in front of goal, where he shot past Ben Bowns.

However, the Taysiders lead was short lived as Josh MacDonald levelled things up just 17 seconds after the restart and two minutes later, an unmarked Kohen Olischefski would blast home the go-ahead goal for the Devils.

The Stars would respond well though as Philippe Sanche caught a pass from Kameron Kielly in the eight minute and fired low past the Devils keeper from close range.

Dundee then had a few good chances to regain the lead but some poor defending allowed Brett Perlini to put the Welsh club ahead on 15 minutes as he fired across goal and beat Jarrett Fiske to his left side.

 

 

Pete Russell’s men then cashed in for a fourth goal with a powerplay marker in the 19th minute as Dundee’s Craig Garrigan was punished for a hooking foul and that allowed MacDonald to net his second of the night with an effort from distance that beat an unsighted Fiske.
