The Trade-Mart Dundee Stars claimed the bragging rights with a 3-2 victory in the Boxing Day Tayside Derby as they defeated their biggest rivals for a fourth straight match.

The Flyers would make a fast start to the match as Tyler Heidt skated in on the Dundee goal and slotted the puck past Jarrett Fiske after only 72 seconds of play, although their lead would be short-lived.

With Fife’s Michael Cichy in the penalty box for roughing, the Stars would score just six seconds into their powerplay as Zach Tsekos won possession from the face-off, drew the pass back to captain Drydn Dow and he put a shot on goal that would be tipped home by Brendan Harms inside the fifth minute.

The Stars began to take control of the game but were unable to turn any of their chances into the lead as Naas would be denied by the post and their second powerplay would come up empty as the two teams went in level at 1-1 to the first break.

 

 

In the second period, the Flyers again started quickly and this time it was Massimo Carozza finishing off a cross-goal pass from Kieran Craig as the home team capitalised on a two-on-one break, on 22 minutes.
