Nottingham Panthers produced a superb performance to skate to a 3-2 victory on the road at Cardiff Devils in the Motorpoint Elite League.
Brendan Harris scored the winner in his first game since returning to the club, Aiden Hansen-Bukata contributed three assists and Kai Edmonds made 34 saves.
Harris replaced Chase Pearson in the line-up who missed the game through injury, while Luca Sheldon backed-up Edmonds.
No goals in tight first period
Edmonds made a good save inside the first minute as he turned away Josh MacDonald's redirect and got a pad to Gleason Fournier's effort from just inside the blueline.
Spencer Naas went close twice for the Panthers as he was set-up on both occasions by Max Grondin, while Harris and Miikka Pitkänen had shots saved by Christian Stoever.
Corbeil breaks deadlock on powerplay as Edmonds stands on his head
Edmonds came up big to deny Joey Martin after he was left all alone in the slot, before Panthers had a good spell of pressure which saw Harris go close.
The Panthers netminder continued to shut the door and made an outstanding save to stop MacDonald's backhand shot after a breakaway and moments later denied Kristoff Kontos twice in quick succession from close-range.
Panthers broke two-on-one and Tim Doherty fed Ben Corbeil but Stoever made an outstanding save to keep the game scoreless.
Danny Stewart's side went ahead soon after on the powerplay when Hansen-Bukata's shot was redirected past Stoever by Corbeil (39:20).
Harris scores game-winner
Edmonds made saves early in the third period to stop Nolan Yaremko and Brandon Estes.
Darick Louis-Jean cut in from the right and put away his own rebound to score his first Motorpoint Elite League goal of the season as Panthers took a two-goal lead (47:34).
Cardiff closed the gap just over two minutes later through a neat wrist-shot by Brandon Estes from the high-slot (49:45).
Hansen-Bukata picked up his third assist of the night as his effort was saved and Harris buried the rebound (51:23), but the hosts hit back again through Fournier's tip from McDonald's shot from left-point (53:42).
Devils lifted Stoever for the extra skater with just under 90 seconds remaining, but Panthers stood firm as Edmonds made three big saves and Zach O'Brien made a huge block as Panthers secured a vital two points on the road.
