Dundee Stars are now six without victory, but moved up to ninth in the table after picking up a point from Sunday’s penalty shots loss to Glasgow Clan.
Small consolation, indeed.
Clan put away all their chances from the spot to confirm the result as Brendan Connolly’s two goals in regulation time cancelled out strikes from Johan Andersson and Fabrizio Ricci.
It was further frustration for the Stars who were soundly beaten 5-2 by the current champions Cardiff Devils in South Wales on Saturday.
Connor Cox and Lukas Lundvald had Dundee 2-1 ahead at one point in the first period, but four unanswered goals made it a good night for the Devils.
As for Clan, Sunday’s win on Tayside made up – well, sort of – for Saturday’s gut-wrenching 4-3 Challenge Cup loss to Belfast Giants as opposing captain Blair Riley netted with just two seconds to go to stun a packed Braehead Arena.
Pete Russell’s side have one more chance to secure a last-eight berth in the competition on Tuesday when Stars visit, hoping to get their revenge and put Glasgow out of the tournament.
