Josh Waller had a 3 goal night while 2 for Tyler Busch and a Josh Nixon single rounded out the scoring for a 6-2 win at league champion Belfast Giants.

The only goal of the opening set came when Busch tipped it past former Flames netminder Jake Kupsky late in the frame to send the visitors to break with a slim lead.

Less than 4 minutes into the 2^nd, Reid Irwin levelled for Giants, but a pair of powerplay replies in the back half of the period by Waller then Busch’s 2^nd of the contest opened a 2 goal Flames advantage through 40 minutes.

Nixon just 60 seconds after re-start made it 4-1.  David Goowin got one back for the hosts at 44:48, but just over a minute later Waller re-stored the 3 goal spread then added a late empty netter to close out the Hat Trick and the win. 

Justin Fazio made 34 saves on 36 shots while Kupsky was 26 for 31.
