Dundee Stars scored two goals four minutes apart in the final period to beat Glasgow Clan 4-2 and end a three-game losing streak in the process.

There were no goals on 28 shots in the opening period at Braehead Arena, but things sprang into life in the second installment.

Dundee went ahead on a Brendan Harms powerplay goal at 30:10, but the visitors found themselves behind by the time the buzzer went for the intermission. Robert Lachowicz levelled at 34:55 with a neat move through a defenseman's legs before calmly slotting high past Kevin Carr, while Cody Sol then put Clan ahead just 32 seconds later. 

It took the Stars less then five third-period minutes to re-gain the lead in a fast start to period three. Ryan Valentini levelled the game 16 seconds into the third, before Brett Beaudoin then put the visitors ahead exactly four minutes later off an Anthony Rinaldi pass after he turned the puck over in the corner of the Clan's zone.

Antti Karjalainen was pulled with 68 seconds to play, but Clan didn't test Carr in the closing stages and could only watch as Spencer Naas added the insurance goal with three seconds left.
