Your Go Goodwins Manchester Storm came away from this evenings away game at the Ice Arena Wales, with a stunning 6-1 win over the 16/17 Champions, the Cardiff Devils, to remain top of the 2017/18 Elite League table!

 

The first period saw Matt Stanisz put the Storm ahead with a powerplay goal in the eighth minute, following a nervy opening 5 minutes, which saw the Devils dominate the puck. Chris Auger scored his first of the night a little over six minutes later, again with the man advantage, to see Storm end the 1st period with a 2-0 lead.

Early into the second period, Storm extended their lead, with Auger hitting the back of the net to register the Storm’s third powerplay goal of the night, and his second, before Dallas Ehrhardt added an even-strength goal to make it 4-0. Despite numerous attempts on goal, the Devils were unable to get a single shot past Clemente in the Storm net for over 40 minutes of play!

 

Storm’s scoring exploits continued into the third period, with Luke Moffatt hitting the back of the net less than three minutes into the period. The continued pressure of the Devils, saw Joey Haddad pulled one back for the Devils in the 55th minute but Storm’s victory was assured when Auger fired in to an empty net at 57.01 after Cardiff had opted to pull netminder Tom Murdy, to secure the Storm’s 6th goal of the night, and his third!

Storm now look ahead to Saturdays game against the Nottingham Panthers, before returning home to the Storm Shelter on Sunday, when we take on the Belfast Giants at SilverBlades Ice Rink Altrincham.
