Cardiff Devils made a profitable begin to pre-season, defeating Rapaces de Hole 5-1 in entrance of an nearly sell-out crowd on the Vindico Enviornment.
After hitting the publish earlier within the opening interval, Nolan Yaremko opened the scoring by banking the puck in off Max Zimmermann, who was caught out of place.
Gleason Fournier and Brett Perlini struck simply 49 seconds aside early within the second interval to place the Devils 3-0 forward, earlier than the sport turned scrappy. Cedric Lacroix was ejected for a slashing main after video assessment at 29:21, and shortly after the Devils have been lowered to 3 skaters when Josh MacDonald cleared the puck over the glass. Hole capitalised on the 5-on-3 benefit, with Dimitri Thillet pulling one again.
Yaremko restored the Devils’ cushion late within the interval together with his second aim of the night time, assisted by Jacob Bryceland in his first look for Cardiff.
Ryan Barrow rounded off the scoring with 3:47 left to play, tapping in Perlini’s feed on the far publish to seal a 5-1 victory.
The 2 sides meet once more on Sunday at 6pm.
