Cardiff Devils ensured a four-point weekend from their Scottish road trip with an overtime win in Fife, in a game that had more than a touch of drama at the end of regulation.

Dillon Lawrence shot home from close range with 7:49 played, over Taran Kozun who was on the ground after a collision in front of his net. The Devils challenged the play as goalie interference, but the goal was upheld after video review. Cole Sanford tied things up at 15:10, only for Reece Harsch to score on the powerplay with seven seconds left in the opening period.

That lead held well into the third period until a flurry of goals set up a dramatic finish. Joey Martin tied things up at 56:57, followed only 41 seconds later by Justin Crandall putting the Devils ahead. However, 40 seconds remaining Mikael Johansson rescued a point for the Flyers in a game they'd led for over 40 minutes.

In overtime, good skating from Crandall eventually set up Brodie Reid for the slapshot winner.
