Frantisek Bakrlik put the home team ahead just 144 seconds into the game when he beat Declan Ryan and the same player figured in the next goal, 12.25 later when Aaron Connolly converted a powerplay with assists from Bakrlik and Ciaran Long and the period ended with Slough holding a 2 goal lead.

Darius Pliskauskas was on hand at 25.40 to finish from Dan Davies and Slava Koulikov to make it 3-0 but if Slough thought the game was won Telford had other ideas. Tim Burrows converted a powerplay while Mindy Kieras sat out to make it 3-1 at 28.55 after just 23 seconds of the powerplay had elapsed. Jaroslav Kruzik converted the next man advantage for the visitors at 35.38, 16 seconds into the powerplay to make it 3-2 and Burrows’ second, scored at even strength with 22 seconds left in the middle period, tied the game up heading into the second interval.

Both teams came out fired up for the third period but 4.10 in Juraj Senko scored the third powerplay goal for the visitors to put them ahead. Slough dominated the period but failed to beat Declan Ryan again. After trading time outs Slough opted for the empty net but despite a double powerplay chance Telford’s remaining skaters and their netminder stood tall to close out for the win.

The teams started by exchanging powerplays when Slough gave away and two man advantage and Sheffield followed with a 1 man penalty kill but it was back at even strength when Peter Jasik opened the scoring for the visitors at 7.47. Little could separate the teams but it was Jasik’s goal that was the difference at the end of the first period.

Slough were penalty killing again early in the second and despite 23 shots on goal in the period the only other entry to the scoresheet was Sheffield’s penalty with 12 seconds remaining.

The third period saw 23 more shots on goal and despite Sheffield conceding another penalty the game looked to be progressing to overtime after Matt Haywood equalised at 53.21 when Ryan Watt stepped up with the game winner at 58.59. Sheffield called a time-out with just 5 seconds remaining and played the remainder of the game with the empty net but Slough had secured the victory.
