Fife Flyers secured a three-point weekend with a victory over Manchester Storm, a day after taking an overtime point out of Altrincham.

Johan Eriksson scored twice in 18 seconds, converting a 2-on-1 from Kyle Osterberg at 8:15, before tapping in at the back post of Lucas Chiodo's feed at 8:33. 

Troy Lajeunesse excellently one-timed Osterberg's pass beyond Evan Weninger to put the Flyers three up after only 14:39. 

Eriksson made it a hat trick 6:16 into period two with the back-door finish on a nice passing move to put the Flyers fully in control, with only a Cam Critchlow goal at 35:34 getting Storm on the board before the middle period was out.

That was as good as it got for the Storm, who were outshot 15-8 by the Flyers in the final period which ended scoreless. Fife's win moves them to within three points of a playoff place.
