Devils snatch overtime win at Panthers

Cardiff Devils completed a rousing comeback win by snatching a 3-2 victory in overtime at Nottingham Panthers in the Elite League.

Panthers led 2-0 after Brendan Harris put the hosts ahead in the first period and Mitchell Fossier doubled the lead from a penalty.

But Devils' Riley Brandt hit back in final period and Ryan Barrow levelled before scoring the overtime winner.

It was a second successive revenge for Devils who had lost 5-0 to Panthers last weekend in the Challenge Cup a day after succumbing to Coventry Blaze, setbacks that left Paul Thompson furious.

Devils beat Blaze on Saturday in their Elite League opener and left Nottingham with another win.

Devils host Glasgow Clan in their next Elite League encounter in the Welsh capital on Saturday, 18 October (19:00 BST) while Panthers go to Fife Flyers in the same competition on Wednesday, 15 October (19:30 BST).
