Weekend Recap – Week 8

On Saturday night……

Glasgow Clan 3  Fife Flyers 0  –  Challenge Cup 

The Flyers remained winless on the road this season after 7 games. Last season they lost 8 consecutive road games through November/December.

To start a season the longest winless run on the road is 15 games in season 2011/12 with 13 decided in regulation.

The Flyers have had 1 power play goal in their last 9 matches going 1 for 31 (3.03 percent) – before that in their opening six matches of ten season they were 6 for 22 (27.3 percent)

In all EIHL competitions this was the 64th time the Flyers have been shutout and the 5th time by Clan with 4 of those being on Braehead ice.

On Sunday night……

Fife Flyers 2  Dundee Stars 7  – Challenge Cup 

The Stars have now won on four of their last five visits to the Auld Barn.

The Flyers winless streak was stretched to seven games which is most amongst all teams so far this season. Last season the Flyers had a streak of 8 consecutive regulation losses during December.

The Flyers gave up 7 shots in the final period which is the fewest in a period in any game this season.

The five second period goals scored by Stars is the most given up by the Flyers in a single period this season.

It also equals the most goals given up in a period on home ice in all EIHL competitions with Nottingham Panthers doing so in March 2013 – The Stars hold the record for most goals scored against the Flyers in a period with 6 from the encounter last December at Dundee Ice Arena.

The Flyers got their first power play goal of the season against Dundee and are now 1 for 13 (7.7 percent) against the Stars.

Congratulations to Ryan Foss who scored his first points for the Flyers with a goal and an assist.
