Belfast Giants complete weekend road double against Fife and Glasgow

The Belfast Giants made it back-to-back weekend Elite League wins in Scotland as they romped to a 6-0 victory at Glasgow Clan.

Goals from Lewis Hook and Slater Doggett put Belfast 2-0 up after the first period.

Jordan Boucher extended the Giants advantage in the second period before late goals from David Goodwin, Griffin Reinhart and Scott Conway.

On Saturday night, Belfast won 3-0 at Fife Flyers.

The Scottish results will have been precisely what Giants coach Adam Keefe was looking for after last weekend's two defeats.

Glasgow, playing their third game in three nights and fourth of the week, struggled to make any impact in the Giants zone and were heavily outshot by 51 to 14.

The Giants, who won despite being without the services of Ciaran Long, Darcy Murphy and Cam Knight, took control early on with Boucher's quick feet and agility causing Glasgow major problems.

Hook who pounced on a Scott Conway one timer to open the scoring at 8:50 with Doggett doubling the lead from close range at 17:16.

Boucher got on the scoresheet himself at 35:46 with Goodwin making it 4-0 seven minutes into the final period on the powerplay with Mitch Jones in the Clan box.

As Glasgow lost their discipline, Reinhart hammered in another powerplay strike before Conway completed the scoring with nearly 10 minutes remaining.

With the game out of sight and Tyler Beskorowany seeing very little of the puck, Keefe introduced young rookies Kell Beattie and Mack Stewart late on.
