Telford Tigers have rediscovered their standards according to head coach Tom Watkins.
After a dreadful season in 2022/23, the Tigers are looking to challenge towards the top of the NIHL National League again and regain the title they last won in the 2021/22 campaign.
Tigers were back on home ice after a close defeat in Peterborough the previous evening, but were short-benched with import forward Jesse Sutton suspended and Jonathan Weaver, Nick Oliver, Danny Rose and Connor Lee unavailable.Great work by Sam Watkins to win the puck behind the Solway goal paid dividends when Watkins found the unmarked Fin Howells, who shot through Solway netminder Calum Hepburn.
Late in the period, Solway got on the scoreboard with a low shot from Craig Peacock beating Brad Day. Tigers had been lethal on the power play so far and restored a two-goal lead with the extra attacker. After peppering the Solway goal with shots, the puck broke to Luka in the slot, allowing the Czech import forward to smash the puck past Hepburn for his third power play goal of the night.
