Both teams came out and looked to be at 100% from the off and Ciaran Long put the home team ahead after 7.43 when he opened the scoring. His goal was complemented by Joachim Flaten netting for 2-0 at 13.12 but Slava Koulikov pulled one back before the interval finishing from Dan Davies and Frantisek Bakrlik at 17.24.

A tough middle period saw the teams locked together with Slough pushing their opponents hard. The shots on goal showed the offensive nature of Slough’s play in the middle frame and their out-shooting of their opponents was rewarded with 36 seconds left when Darius Pliskauskas made it 2-2.

Back out for the third period the first ten minutes passed scoreless but the deadlock was broken when James Archer put Manchester ahead at 53.47. Gregg Rockman stood tall in the net keeping his team in the game despite them being outshot and with 47 seconds left in regulation time Bakrlik added a goal to his earlier assist to level the game and force overtime.

The 5 minutes of sudden death 4 on 4 produced no difference in the score so it went to penalty shots. Flaten started the shots and was saved by Rockman and Pliskauskas’ opening effort for the visitors was also saved. Psurny’s attempt then hit the crossbar and Bakrlik took an excellent penalty shot to score. When Ciaran Long missed that ended the competition and Slough took the extra point for the win.

Manchester stats: Hand 0+2; Archer 1+0; Long 1+0. Net: Fone (65.00) 25/3

After both teams had tried each other out two quick goals put Slough ahead at 6.22 and 6.43 Darius Pliskauskas scored, both times assisted by Ryan Watt. Slough gave away two powerplay opportunities but still ended the period 2-0 ahead.

The middle period saw 22 shots in total with Gregg Rockman facing 13 and Stephen Wall facing 9 but neither team could find the back of the net. Slough’s first powerplay went without score and Basingstoke failed to capitalise on the two that they received.

The third period had only 15 shots, Slough enjoyed a shot advantage over their opponents and it was Darius Pliskauskas who netted at 50.27 to make it 3-0 and complete his own hat-trick. The visitors spent two of the final five minutes shorthanded but killed off the penalty but Slough closed out for the shut-out win, the third of the season for Rockman.
