The deadlock was broken when Brace sent the puck forward, with Michal Gutwald applying a close range finish.

Edinburgh were back level in the second period when Denis Trakhanov’s shot from the blue line beat everyone, including Clan goalie Ryan Nie for the equaliser.

But the home side were back in front when a powerful Craig Cescon effort from point got a touch from Brace to make it 2-1.

However the celebrations had barely finished when Mike Cazzola restored parity for the Caps as he got one on the board to level again.

The Capitals went ahead early in the third period as Pavel Vorobyev burst forward and finished coolly under Nie.
