It was the 5th short handed goal given up by the Flyers on the season and the second Loren Ulett has scored against the Flyers.
The Flyers halted their losing streak at 13 games and avoided equalling their longest winless streak of 14 games in the EIHL and also the potential to equal their all-time consecutive losing streak of 15 games from season 1950/51.
The Flyers ended their longest losing streak against the Storm on Altrincham ice at 5 games.
The Flyers ended a season high streak of 6 games without a power play goal.
