2 early goals by Giants where all they needed to deliver a 2-0 defeat of the Flames in Belfast.

Marcus Eriksson on a powerplay less than 3 minutes after start put Giants in front and seconds later Ciaran Long doubled the advantage that remained on the board through remainder of the set. 

The 14-9 shot count that favoured Belfast in the 1^st carried over and repeated itself in the 2^nd with Justin Fazio and Jackson Whistle each turning away all the rubber they saw across the frame leaving Flames still in a 2 goal hole to begin the 3^rd.

Nothing changed across the final 20 minutes despite the visitors tipping the shots 11-9 across the segment.

Fazio made 35 saves on 37 shots while Whistle posted the clean sheet with 29 saves at his end.
