Venus brightens up Blaze

Teenage forward Ross Venus produced a man-of-the-match display as Coventry Blaze beat Edinburgh Capitals 15-0 at the Skydome in the Elite League.
Venus, 16, posted one goal and four assists as Blaze – who welcomed Jonathan Weaver back after knee surgery - registered only their second victory in their last 10 games.
Capitals, who have just two imports remaining on the team, on the other hand slumped to their 12th reverse in a row.
Brad Cruikshank opened the scoring in the 10th minute with Dan Carlson and Sean Selmser also netting by the end of the first period.
Two goals inside three minutes from Greg Chambers made it 5-0 with Canadian netminder Brett Jaeger then making way for British back-up Tom Murdy to get some ice time.
Venus and Cruikshank were on target in the space of 55 seconds and Rob Farmer notched an eighth with six seconds of the period remaining.
In the last period, Blaze scored seven goals in as many minutes with Luke Fulghum grabbing his 27th strike of the season and Aaron Nell, Russ Cowley (2), Farmer, Selmser and Matt Soderstrom also on the mark.
Coach Paul Thompson said: “Young Ross Venus was man of the match, he was the star of the show.
“Capitals are depleted right now and I feel for them but we have been depleted too and no-one has taken pity on us.
“You are damned if you do and damned if you don’t. We went out there and put on a professional show for our fans.
“Everyone got at least a point and a lot of the players got goals which will boost their confidence. It was a chance to get some rhythm back, at the end of the day you can only play what is in front of you.”
The win lifted Blaze back above Braehead Clan into fifth place and they face Edinburgh again tomorrow night in Murrayfield.
