Michael Polaszewski made it 3-2 in the 27th minute before Dutkiewicw completed his hat-trick right on full-time.
Nevertheless, Stuart Neave’s side hit back to beat HC Valenciennes in their second match this afternoon.

Two second half goals from Derek Salmond, another from Dick and Andrew Malcolm ensured a vital victory for the Purple Robes though, with Ghezzi’s second goal not proving insurmountable for the capital outfit.
