Forward Martin Cingel admitted the signs already look good for the Edinburgh Capitals after they picked up three points from their opening two games.

The Capitals got off to a flying start battering Hull Stingrays 9-2 before valiantly falling 4-3 in overtime to Nottingham after coming back from 3-1 down 24 hours later.

Edinburgh lost player-coach Doug Christiansen to broken knee in the clash with Hull – who now faces surgery – but Cingel admitted that was the only disappointment.

Cingel and co have taken to the ice just twice compared to Nottingham who have done so five times, and he said: “We have played exactly as we set out to play – not many

teams will come back from two goals down to take a point from Nottinham.

“We showed great character in overtime and the effort from all the guys has been fantastic and we’ve got three points in the bag which is a great start.”
