Fife Flyers completed an Elite League weekend win double over bottom club Edinburgh Capitals.

The Kirkcaldy club skated to a 5-1 success at Murrayfield after their 6-2 success at Rosslyn Street on Saturday.

Todd Dutiaume’s men broke the deadlock after 17 minutes through Carlo Finucci but Capitals’ skipper Michael D’Orazio levelled on the power play eight minutes later.

Charlie Mosey unassisted put the visitors ahead just over a minute later and Fife finished off the home side with three goals in six, third period minutes.

Finucci unassisted made it 3-1 after 45 minutes and Evan Bloodoff unassisted increased the visitors advantage four minutes later.

And Peter LeBlanc completed the scoring just over two minutes later on the power play with Finucci assisting.

Elsewhere, Dundee Stars were beaten 3-2 at league champions Cardiff Devils who led 2-0 after 14 minutes with goals from Layne Ulmer and Andrew Hotham.

Brian Hart pulled one back four minutes later but Joey Haddad made it 3-1 after 33 minutes, a strike which proved the game-winner.

Joey de Concilys claimed a consolation for Stars less than four minutes from time.

And Nottingham Panthers went back to the top of the table with a 3-0 win at Braehead Clan, a reverse which snapped a six-game winning run for the Scots.
