Coventry Blaze were beaten 5-1 tonight by the Belfast Giants.
At the Odessy Arena, Higgins fired Belfast ahead on 5.28 but on the next play and with the Blaze on the power play, Ryan Ginand equalised.
That was as good as it got for the Blaze fans who travelled as Szwez made it 2-1 with 5.17 of the first period remaining.
There were no goals in the second period but with seventeen minutes remaining, Sandrock scored on the powerplay.
A fourth goal came from Lloyd who scored from a three on one and then hit the fifth in the last minute.
