The Devils completed a four-point weekend in Scotland on Sunday night, but were made to work hard for the win after an impressive comeback in the third period from the Fife Flyers.
64 seconds was all it took for the Devils to open the scoring on the powerplay through Stephen Dixon, and with Blair Riley finding the net at 7:24 the Devils led by two after 20 minutes of play.
Masi Marjamaki made it 3-0 at 27:52, but the Flyers were on the board some six minutes later through Dylan Quaile to pull the game back to 3-1. Joey Haddad restored the Devils three goal lead at 38:07 to end the middle period up 4-1.
The Flyers cut the lead to two just 56 seconds into the final period thanks to a sliding finish from Tim Crowder. Then Carlo Finucci tipped in Scott Aarssen's shot on the powerplay at 51:19 to make it 4-3. Just 39 seconds later the game was all tied up thanks to former Devil Paul Crowder, whose goal sent the Fife Ice Arena into a frenzy.
But the drama wasn’t over yet as Joey Haddad's shot from the point somehow found its way through traffic at 57:08 to put the Devils back in front with under 3 minutes to play. The Flyers pressed for the tying goal, but at 59:08 Joey Martin scored into the empty net to seal the win for the Devils and complete the 4 point weekend.
