Telford Tigers’ travel problems continued as they crashed to defeat at Swindon Wildcats.
The hosts overcame an early two-goal deficit to claim a resounding 8-3 success, a result which made it five defeats on the spin for Tigers away from home.“We started the game very well and played disciplined, smart hockey,” he said, “We won our battles and moved the puck well, putting ourselves in a good position, but we made an unfortunate handling error that led to the first Swindon goal.
"Right now we are struggling to put in a performance on the road, we must be more competitive than we have been of late to get anything from an away game.”Louie Newell sent a shot towards goal and a deflection from Eric Henderson caught out Swindon net minder Renny Marr as the puck hit his glove and went behind him into the net.
Five minutes into the second period, the hosts were level when Jake Bricknell scored. Within a minute, Swindon had their first lead of the night when Tomaz Malasinski netted while the Wildcats were on the power play.
