Edinburgh Capitals 0 Nottingham Panthers 8
A second big win for Panthers in Scotland’s capital in the past seven days with this time Craig Kowalski posting a 25 shot shutout and David-Alexandre Beauregard scoring his second hat trick of the early season.
Panthers offensive power was always too much for the home side and it took little time for the visitors to take charge. Beauregard it was who opened at 5.07 and a dominant Panthers added three more before the opening period break through Matthew Myers at 9.43 shorthanded, Jeff Heerema at 10.55 and Beauregard again at 15.44.
Two more for the visitors in the second period with Scott Champagne netting at 29.46 and a powerplay strike at 38.35 by David Clarke.
Comfortable for Panthers in the third with Beauregard completing his treble at 48.11 and rounding off the night a second goal from Clarke at 51.05.
