The Genting Casino Coventry Blaze moved up to second in the Elite League table with a 3-0 win over the Glasgow Clan at Skydome Arena on Sunday.
Frame and Print Player of the Month for October Nate Halbert scored first for Coventry at 7.58, assisted by Colton Yellow Horn who each took their regular season point tally to 19 in 14 games (joint third in the league).
Swede Kim Tallberg then scored just before the half-way mark which was the only goal in an even second period.
Both teams had two powerplay opportunities in the third, but neither team was able to convert with Blaze netminder Paavo Holsa remaining particularly strong to collect his second man of the match award in as many nights.
With Glasgow chasing a way back into the game, they pulled netminder John Muse for the extra skater later in the game leaving the net wide open for Tallberg to score his second from almost 200-foot.
With a 3-0 win and another four point weekend, the Blaze next travel to Sheffield to take on the third placed Steelers at the Sheffield Arena on Wednesday in a game which is live on ViaPlay Sports (7.30pm).
