The Trade-Mart Dundee Stars pushed the Cardiff Devils all the way until the final minutes but would eventually be beaten 7-3 in their final visit of the regular season to the Vindico Arena.

By Kris Smith

The Stars had found themselves 1-0 down after the first period as Bradley Schoonbaert turned home the rebound from Riley Brandt’s saved effort on 11 minutes.

Although, the Taysiders had their chances and tested Ben Bowns in the Cardiff goal but could not beat the Englishman until the 33rd minute, but by that point the home team had opened up a 3-0 lead.

Josh MacDonald got on the end of Joey Martin’s perfectly placed pass to the backdoor and finished easily past Jarrett Fiske to double their advantage just 58 seconds into the second session and on the Devils’ first powerplay of the night, Brett Perlini would convert inside 26 minutes.

However, Dundee then had their first chance on the man advantage and got off the mark as Spencer Naas’ shot would be stopped by Bowns but the Team GB netminder could not then stop Philippe Sanche from scoring on the rebound.

 

 

Marc LeFebvre’s men went into the final intermission still 3-1 down but again had their chances to cut into the Welsh club’s lead and in the third period, Cardiff took a choke hold of the game by adding two more quick goals.
