Belfast Giants shut out Fife Flyers 6-0 in regulation, a win built on a metronomic two-goal output in each of the three periods. Nothing about the scoreline came in a rush; it accumulated.
The Giants were up 2-0 after twenty minutes and doubled it to 4-0 through forty, which effectively removed the drama from the third. Fife never got the game back to a one-possession margin at any checkpoint, and Belfast closed it out with two more in the final frame.
The defining number is the zero. A clean sheet across sixty minutes, paired with an even 2-2-2 scoring distribution, says as much about Belfast's structure without the puck as it does about their finishing.
