After the first half of the middle period passed by scoreless Doug Sheppard netted a powerplay strike at 31.24 and was followed up by Pliskauskas with his second of the night, back at even strength at 33.00. 19 seconds later Swindon made it 3-6 with a goal from Samuel Bullas and Doug Sheppard took the visitor’s time-out at 34.05.

Starting the third period 3 goals ahead meant there was little the visitors had to do to secure the result however it was them who scored the only goal of the period when Tom Carlon netted his second at 53.33 and made it 3-7.

After midweek action at the Swindon Link Centre both teams moved to the Hangar for the Slough Jets to take on the Wildcats on their home ice.

EPL_SWISlough Jets 6 Swindon Wildcats 5 (PS)
Slough took the lead just after the midway mark in the opening period which did little to indicate what was to follow. Doug Sheppard made it 1-0 at 14.09 but with just 32 seconds left in the period and the visitors on the powerplay it was tied up at 1-1when former Slough player Ryan Watt scored for his current team.

The second period was a dream for the visitors as Jozef Liska netted them three unanswered goals starting at 21.09. Despite Slough outshooting their opponents it was 1-3 at 35.27 with Liska’s second and when he completed an uninterrupted hat-trick at 37.38 with a shorthanded breakaway goal it completed the visitors period.

Slough came out in top gear for the final period and 1.22 in Darius Pliskauskas made it 2-4 only for Liska to step forward with his fourth at 41.43. Undettered Joe Greener pulled another goal back at 43.04 and when Blaz Emersic converted a powerplay at 45.02 there was real hope of a successful comeback. Pliskauskas scored the equalising goal at 55.38 and the teams headed to overtime.

Slough started overtime with a carry over powerplay from regulation time and were soon back on the powerplay when Swindon iced too many imports at 60.58. Jan Krajicek later took a slashing minor at 63.22 which offered the visitors a powerplay but with neither team scoring the game went to penalties.

Koulikov and Pliskaukas scored Slough’s first and second shots while Suursoo missed Swindon’s first and Liskas scored the second to take it to the final shots of the initial three. Davies missed for Slough meaning Watt had to score for Swindon but Gregg Rockman came up with the game winning save and Slough took full points.

Slough: Koulikov 0+3; Pliskauskas 2+0; Sheppard, J Greener 1+1; Krajicek 0+2; Emersic 1+0; Ward 0+1. Net: Rockman (65.00) 29/5

Slough Jets entertained Sheffield Scimitars for their first visit of the season to the Hangar with high hopes of continuing their winning streak.

EPL_SHESlough Jets 3 Sheffield Scimitars 7
Sheffield had an aggressive start to the game when their first and third shot produced their first and second goals within 45 seconds. Peter Slamiar scored at 0.34 and Matt Haywood followed up at 0.45. Ben Bowns at the other end was confident in the visitors’ net and James Archer added their third at 14.24 for a clean sweep of the first period.

Slough started the second period with promise when Joe Greener scored at 21.41 but Sheffield continued pressuring Rockman and Stephen Wallace scored at 22.51, followed by Aaron Strawson at 24.08 and Archer again at 26.55 which saw Rockman replaced in net by Charles Kaylor. Slough pulled a goal back at 37.56 when Slava Koulikov scored on debut but Sheffield ended the period scoring their seventh and giving them an impressive margin for the third period.

Slough turned up the pace a bit in the third period but Sheffield were far enough ahead to play tight defensive hockey and Jan Melichar’s goal at 56.59 only eased the scoreline.

Slough: Koulikov, J Greener 1+1; Melichar 1+0; Jasik, Bowman, Long 0+1. Net: Rockman (26.55) 21/6 & Kaylor (33.05) 14/1
