Jordan Klimek had a pair of goals including the winner inside the last half of the 3rd to help lift the visiting Flames to a 3-2 win over the Dundee Stars.
An early Flames powerplay then a pair of late penalty kills highlighted a scoreless opening frame where Taz Burman made 15 saves at his end while Lucas Brine was perfect on the 9 shots he faced for Stars.
Just over 6 minutes into the 2nd, the opener found the mark through Peter Crinella to give the visitors a lead. Ryan Valentini and Spencer Naas answers less than 2 minutes apart just past halfway gave them a lead until Jordan Klimek squared it 71 seconds from period time.
Klimek added a 2nd just under 10 minutes from close and the Flames held on the rest of the way to guarantee the win.
Burman made 43 saves on 45 shots while Lucas Brine was 31 for 34.
“That’s a great win to help our confidence, after a tough run with not a lot of results,” admitted Paul Dixon.
“It was actually an even, back and forth game and really either team could have won so we are glad we did enough to slip the points on our side of the ledger.”
“We will get home now and try to get ready for Glasgow Clan on Saturday before returning to Sheffield again on Sunday night.”
