A shortbenched Trade-Mart Dundee Stars were beaten 3-1 on Sunday night by Guildford Flames at home as they fell behind in the opening period and were unable to find a way back into the match.

The Stars were missing four of their import forwards through injury as forward, Jake Elmer joined Alex Tonge, Kameron Kielly and Brogan O’Brien on the sidelines and they soon found themselves a goal behind as the Flames came out swinging.

Guildford piled on the pressure early and would convert on the first powerplay of the night as Daniel Tedesco fired past Jarrett Fiske on six mintues, ending Zach Tsekos’ time in the penalty box.

Then just two minutes later, Joshua Waller would pounce on a mistake by Craig Moore in the Guildford end and he broke forward before squaring a pass to Ethan Strang, who turned home a second past Fiske.

Dundee were struggling to find a way back into the match but did create a short spell on pressure and almost found their first goal of the night if not for some excellent goaltending from Jake Kupsky.

 

 

The Flames would then add a third goal in the 18th minute as Matt Alvaro tipped the puck past Fiske from point blank range and that sent the Taysiders into the first break 3-0 behind.
