Your Go Goodwins Manchester Storm moved up to third in the Elite League for Christmas, thanks to Matt Beca’s penalty shot against the Nottingham Panthers.
It was a big win for your Storm, who followed up Friday’s #WinterClassic success over Guildford Flames to complete a four-point weekend.
Both sides started well in a high tempo opening period that saw both goalies, Michael Garnett for the Panthers and Storm’s Mike Clemente, kept busy. When the goals came, they arrived within 19 seconds of each other in the middle period as this contest was tight to the very end.
Storm’s Dane Byers saw a chance come his way, with a one-timer straight off a face-off, to beat Garnett. However, almost immediately after, Nottingham were back on level terms as Mathieu Brisebois struck the equaliser! No further chances came about during the third period, or in the 5 minutes of sudden death overtime which followed.
The Panthers fifth straight loss was secured when Matt Beca converted on the second of the Storm’s penalty shots, to give the Storm all two points.
Attention now turns to the Boxing day home game against the Dundee Stars, which will be followed by a FULL team signing session! Tickets are selling fast, so don’t miss out – get yours now!
