Devils @ Capitals - In review

Devils 2- 4 Capitals (Final Score)

After a thrilling 7-5 win over the Braehead Clan on the evening prior, the Cardiff Devils were disappointed to only be returning to Wales with those two points, after suffering a 4-2 defeat to the Edinburgh Capitals on Sunday night.

 Despite a slow start to the season, the Capitals came marching out of the starting blocks, with Hartmann and Cingel putting them 2-0 up, all before the five minute mark, Hartmann scoring on the power play, Devils' forward Adam Harding in the box for hooking.  Both teams saw some penalties after the Edinburgh goals but neither managed to add to their tallies before the buzzer rang.

The second period was a lot quieter, with just a penalty for each team... But the Red Army definitely had something to cheer about.  Just 1.24 into the period, new signing Paul Bissonnette scored his second goal in two games, putting the Devils on the score board for the first time in the game.  Unfortunately, despite numerous chances, neither side added any extra goals.

 Penalties were the in thing during the third, leading to both the home and visiting sides scoring a power play goal.  Caps struck first, with Jarolin their scorer adding their third goal and re-establishing their two goal lead from earlier in the game.  However, just eight minutes from time, Chris Blight shortened the Scottish side's lead.  It was looking like another comeback for the welsh side, but in an attempt to even the score, they pulled Osaer for the extra attacker - and Jarolin managed to put Edinburgh out of reach with an empty net goal just 24 seconds before the buzzer rang.

With a proud Red Army following them home, the Cardiff Devils are not playing on Saturday, so make sure you get down to the BBT on Sunday, to watch Paul Bissonnette make his home debut against the Fife Flyers.  Fill The Tent! Let's Go Devils!
