Dundee gained their first of four opening period powerplay opportunities early, with Colton Saucerman called for holding at 02:23.
Despite that, Coventry opened the scoring through Matthew Gleason, who netted the lone goal of the first period with a shorthanded wraparound past Emil Kruse at 03:40.
Spencer Naas levelled the score at 26:41 on the Stars’ sixth powerplay of the night, firing a shot that deflected off a Blaze defender and past Mat Robson.
Alessio Luciani quickly responded, pouncing on a rebound at the top of the crease to restore the visitors’ one goal lead at 27:37.
Luciani added his second of the night at 34:16, ripping a shot from the left circle over the glove of the Stars’ netminder.
Jonathan McBean replied less than a minute later, picking up a feed from Otto Nieminen and beating Robson in close to once again make it a one goal game at 35:12.
Neither side could find the back of the net for much of the third period, despite chances at both ends of the ice.
Dundee pulled Kruse late for the extra attacker, but it proved to be too little, too late, as Jordan Power fired into the empty net just before the buzzer to seal a 4-2 Blaze victory.
