The Belfast Giants scored a couple of second period goals in quick succession and never fully relinquished that advantage the rest of the way during a 5-2 win over the Flames on Spectrum ice last night (November 23).

Less than four minutes after face-off, Matt Alvaro’s first league strike of the campaign set Spectrum’s men to a lead but David Goodwin levelled in relatively short order and the remainder of the period timed out without any further scoring.

Giants went ahead by a couple early in the second with a Jordan Kawaguchi powerplay goal at 25:22 and a Scott Conway follow up less than 60 seconds later, but a 34th minute Josh Waller reply pulled Flames within a single goal to start the third.

Inside the back 10 minutes, Giants all but put the game away with a Jake Gaudet strike and a late empty netter by Marcus Eriksson.

Jake Kupsky had the Flames start and made 42 saves on 46 shots opposing Jackson Whistle who recorded the Giants win turning away 29 shots on 31 attempts.

“We got off to a great start so it is disappointing to end up on the wrong side of that one,” said assistant coach Andy Hemmings, “but we will have to take the positive stuff we did and use that as part of the re-group this week to see what we can do in Cardiff Friday before Dundee comes to us Sunday.”
