After being shut out on their own ice by Glasgow Clan on Thursday, Belfast Giants responded with a 3-0 blanking of Dundee Stars at a sold-out SSE Arena.

The only goal of the opening period came courtesy of Davey Phillips at 6:19 - potentially. His shot from the point bounced off a crowd of players, possibly both defenseman, and ended up in Kevin Carr's net. The Giants almost doubled their lead in the final seconds of the period breaking 2-on-1 but couldn't beat Carr, the Stars also also pulling off an excellent glove save midway through the first.

The 7,304 fans in Belfast had to wait until the final five minutes to see the game settled. Greg Printz got the goal that put the Giants two ahead with 4:07 to play, before Bobby MacIntyre found the empty net with 87 seconds remaining. 

Jackson Whistle logged a 26-shot shutout for the Giants.
