Fife Flyers: fight and a goal for Fynn Page as Flyers post road win in Dundee
and live on Freeview channel 276
It was another clash with its flashpoints as the rivalry kicked back in after the summer recess. Goals from Johan Erikkson - his second of the weekend - namesake Anthon Eriksson, Ben Hawerchuck and Fynn Page clinched the victory on Tayside.
Shane Owen made some early saves, including one spectacular glove catch after defenceman Pouncy made a quick move into the Fife end, and found Josh Brittainn in the slot. At the other end, Stars’ netminder Kevin Carr came up big as he smothered Ericksson’s clear shot at goal. Ben Hawerchuk then tangled with enforcer Sean Allen, both taking five for fighting.

Flyers doubled their lead just three minutes into the second period as Anthon Erikkson rang the red light, and Howerchuk put them firmly in control with number three at 25:08. Owen made a great stop on the effort from Rinaldi and Valentini just misses the mid-air puck to bat in the rebound. 0-3.
Early in the third, Stars’ skater Jake Elmer was hurt in a freak collision and headed briefly to the dressing room. He returned within minutes, but Allen still sought retribution, taking a minor misconduct penalty for going after Page at the face-off, following the collision.
To cap a busy night for Page, the young Flyers player - who has switched from defenceman to forward under coach Tom Coolen – rounded off the scoring with a goal in the final seconds.
