After the most successful group stage phase in Stars franchise history, head coach, Omar Pacha elected to play Glasgow in the last eight stage.
Below is a quick look back at the six group stage games that put Dundee as the number one seed, after five wins and one narrow defeat at the hands of Fife Flyers.

The Flyers edged a game that was dominated by Dundee, but it all came down to Fife’s going to the net mentality which rewarded them with a crucial goal early in the third period.
Belfast Giants 3
Dundee Stars 4
The Stars went over to Belfast and hit the ground running, they quickly set-up their defences and punished the Giants with quick-counter attacks, even whilst shorthanded as they netted two goals whilst being a man down.
