Lightning dulled by OT strike.

Swindon Wildcats took to the ice to face the visiting MK Lightning for a midweek fixture.

Despite a scoreless first period the away side would soon change things in the second, as Blaz Emersic was found alone in front of net to finish with a backhanded effort.

However the home side were soon drew level, as minutes later Floyd Taylor would pick out the puck from midair and redirect Sam Smith’s initial shot for a 1-1 game.

Just after the halfway stage, MK went about restoring their lead despite being found shorthanded. An end to end dump of the puck left Stevie Lyle controlling the bouncing puck, however some quick feet would see Stanislav Lascek on hand to tap in the rebound.

What looked to be a 2-1 lead quickly became 2-2 as Swedish import Jonas Höög would almost instantly even the scores once more, with a screened slapshot for a powerplay goal.

An even final third saw both sides push forward however after sixty minutes neither could break the deadlock.

With it came an overtime period and the chance to end the game with a next goal. A 4 on 4 situation left both sides pressing but when Swindon’s Jan Kostal was found ahead of the last defenseman, a diving effort saw the Czech forward slide the puck past Wall for the game winner.
