The Belfast Giants have now gone seven Superleague games since their last victory.

Warming oup for their Challenge Cup semi-final against Nottingham Panthers, they had to settle for a draw against bottom club Bracknell Bees on Friday night.

The Giants went ahead through Colin Ward on the powerplay.

But Bracknell, without a victory in seven games going into the encounter, stunned the Belfast side by scoring three unanswered goals through Dan Ceman, Mike McBain and Tero Arkiomaa.

Curt Bowen quickly cut the deficit and Robby Sandrock forced overtime, with neither side able to find a winner.

Belfast iced just 12 skaters but hope to have Paxton Schulte and Kory Karlander fit for when they tackle the Panthers at Sheffield Arena on Sunday.
