Glasgow Clan made it back-to-back four-point weekends with a 4-3 home win over Dundee Stars, scoring the game-winner with just over five minutes to go.

Dundee, who came into this fixture after suffering two defeats the previous weekend, had an ideal start as they opened the scoring early at 03:26. Drydn Dow sent a cross-crease pass intended for the stick of Jake Elmer, however, the puck deflected off of a sprawling Clan defender and past Landon Bow.

The Clan equalised at 11:00, with Cole Ully scoring his second goal of the weekend. A solo effort from the Canadian saw him take the puck over the blue line and send a wrist shot past the glove of Richard Sabol. 

Ully scored his second of the game at 17:07, deflecting a shot from Reece Kelly past the Stars’ netminder to give his team their first lead of the evening and send the game into the first intermission 2-1.

Clan spent the first half of the second period in control, limiting the Stars to just two shots on goal within this time. Despite this, the visitors managed to score the equaliser with Brett Gravelle finding the back of the net. A turnover in Clan’s zone allowed Philippe Sanche to get a shot on goal, and although Bow made the initial save the puck fell to Gravelle who put it home at 30:21.

A slashing penalty against Glasgow gave Dundee their first powerplay of the evening, which Brendan Harms took full advantage of as he regained the lead for the Stars at 37:50. A shot from the left wing by Jake Elmer found its way to the net, which Harms sent between the pads of Bow to make it 3-2.

Dundee managed to keep Glasgow at bay for the majority of the third period, limiting the Clan’s scoring attempts as they looked to maintain the lead.

Felix Pare scored the equaliser at 50:09, as he found himself alone in front of the crease and tipped an innocent-looking shot from Deven Sideroff past Richard Sabol to make it 3-3.

Glasgow remained on the offense, which paid off when Tyson McLellan scored the go-ahead goal and eventual game-winner. Cole Ully sent the puck toward the net, where McLellan was waiting to redirect it past Sabol at 54:41.

The Stars pulled Sabol in the closing stages of the game, but some misplaced passing cut their pressure on Bow's net short. Glasgow held on for the one-goal win.
