Lightning slipped to a 5-2 defeat at Slough Jets on Saturday before suffering the agony of a 3-2 overtime loss to Jets on Sunday, picking up one point.

Sundays' match was marred by prematch incidents involving Lightning's Kurt Irvine and Jets' Paddy Ward and Nicky Chinn with police called to the rink. Ward failed to start the game.

As the teams lined up for the start of the game it was quickly halted – both sides returning to their dressing rooms. When they emerged again Irvine was missing from the line up as police were rinkside.

The disruption seemed to hit Lightning's focus and they found themselves two goals behind within 90 seconds and the first penalties coming after just 38 seconds with Toni Alasaarela and Richard Hargreaves going for delaying the game.

Only 21 seconds later Blaz Emersic was sent up the left by Joe Ciccarello to score.

A further 24 seconds elapsed before Chinn netted Jets' second.

When a further penalty was called on Jets' Jan Krajicek at 5mins 51secs play was again halted and both sides retreated to the changing rooms. This time Chinn did not return.

Numerous penalties on both sides in the first session failed to result in any further goals and after the buzzer sounded Daniel Croft and Scott Spearing clashed – both starting the second session in the penalty box.

The second period was only 17 seconds old when Lightning's Adam Radmall joined them for cross-checking. But despite the extra man the visitors were unable to add to their tally.

Midway through the game things boiled over between Michael Wales and Hargreaves with the Lightning man given a match penalty for roughing and his opponent two minutes.

By this stage Lightning were working their way back into the game and they reduced the deficit when Ross Bowers was credited with getting the final touch on an Ales Parez set up at 32mins 43secs.

Mikko Skinnari almost levelled when his shot hit the pipework before Bowers did square things up at 38mins 26secs.

The third session was possibly Lightning's best as they outshot the visitors 17-9 but neither side was able to score and so the game went into five minutes of overtime.

The match looked as though it was heading for penalty shots when Ciccarello's shot fell loose to |Krajicek who put an end to Lightning's hopes at 63mins 1secs.

On Saturday Lightning went 2-0 down at Slough by the 11th minute with Steve Moria registering on the powerplay at 4mins 36s and Chinn making it two at 10mins 42secs.

The temp was raised in the second session but still the visitors could not get a breakthrough and it was Jets who effectively put the game out of reach with goals by Emersic and Spearing at 32mins 6secs and 36mins 44secs.

It was not until 49mins 55secs that Lightning managed to beat goalie Dean Skinns for the first time – only for Ward to restore the four goal gap on 52mins 57secs.

Lightning gave some respectability to their tally when Parez got the final goal of the game at 55mins 47secs.
