Neilson's side had won nine league games in a row before losing to Cardiff

Nottingham Panthers recovered from the disappointment of losing in a penalty shoot-out to Cardiff on Saturday with a comeback victory at Dundee on Sunday.

Dundee went ahead in the first period on a breakaway but David Clarke levelled on a five-on-three powerplay and Jonathon Zion made it 2-1.

Stars levelled in the third but Matthew Myers grabbed the winner.

The win sealed a three-point weekend on the back of Saturday's agonising 3-2 home defeat at the hands of Cardiff.

The result ended Nottingham's nine-match league winning run despite a brave comeback and an inspired display from goalie Craig Kowalksi.

Panthers trailed 2-0 but goals from Ian McDonald and Billy Ryan brought them level at the end of normal time.

Corey Neilson's side spurned a number of good chances, but the key man was once again Kowalksi, who made a string of superb saves to keep them in it.

But the visitors won the shoot-out meaning a point for Panthers in the league and Challenge Cup standings, as the game counted in both competitions.

Sunday's win leaves Panthers two points behind Elite League leaders Belfast but with a game in hand.
