7:36pm
That's it. Two normal periods, with one truly bonkers period in the middle. Swindon hit their highest score of the season and notch a four-point weekend in the process. Bang.
7:34pm
Penalty killed.
7:34pm
Two minutes left.
7:32pm
Telford get another powerplay.
7:31pm
Cats back to full strength.
7:31pm
Hoog and Nell still want more!
7:28pm
Two minutes for roughing for Nicky Watt.
7:28pm
GOAL! (Telford 4, Wildcats 8, 52.40)
Jaroslav Kruzik on the scoresheet. It would take an absolute miracle for the Shropshire side to come back from here, though.
7:21pm
Telford have stemmed the flow here. Either that or Cats have taken their foot off the pedal.
7:19pm
Hoog fires off the pipes.
7:16pm
You have to feel for Brandon Stones in the Tigers net. Harsh lesson for the youngster.
7:13pm
I do believe this will be Swindon's first four-point weekend of the season...
7:11pm
GOAL! (Telford 3, Wildcats 8, 41.06)
This is relentless. Hoog gets plenty of space down the left and he pings a beautiful wristshot in off the pipes. That is a hat-trick for the forward.
7:08pm
I think the lads could do double digits @SwindonWildcats how cool would that be

Players back out.
6:56pm
Period two is over. Enough goals for you?
6:54pm
GOAL! (Telford 3, Wildcats 7, 39.24)
Danny Rose has been credited with that one, but frankly it could have been anyone. the puck was delivered weakly just in front of the crease and it deflected in, possibly even off a skate.
6:52pm
Hoog, Nell and Perkkio on a hat-trick now.
6:50pm
GOAL! (Telford 2 Wildcats 7, 36.59)
The same duo team up again. Hoog lays on for Nell. This is a rout, it's official.
6:47pm
Telford now back to the full complement.
6:47pm
GOAL! (Telford 2, Wildcats 6, 35.14)
Powerplay goal and very simple stuff. Hoog picks out Nell in space at the post and his slams home. This game has to be over now.
6:42pm
Tim Burrows gets two minutes for boarding.
6:41pm
Whitfield gets a shove from behind and Sam Bullas is right in there.
6:40pm
GOAL! (Telford 2, Wildcats 5, 32.39)
Class is starting to show now as Swindon's good recent form shines through. This time Perkkio scores from Nell.
6:38pm
Penalty killed.
6:37pm
Stevie Whitfield is serving two minutes for slashing.
6:36pm
GOAL! (Telford 2, Wildcats 4, 29.13)
Watt gives Cats breathing space from close range, set up by Jan Melichar.
6:32pm
GOAL! (Telford 2, Wildcats 3, 28.07)
Hoog scores assisted by Perkkio and Nell. Nicely tucked away in the bottom corner by the Swede.
6:31pm
Watt is back and not getting the most positive reception I've ever heard in my life from the Telford fans.
6:30pm
Penalty killed.
6:27pm
Shane Moore off for two minutes.
6:26pm
Big hit by Whitfield on Selwood doesn't go down too well. Only handbags, though.
6:25pm
GOAL! (Telford 2, Wildcats 2, 24.01)
Scott McKenzie levels matters up.
6:23pm
Murdy makes a couple of regulation saves.
6:22pm
The visitors are beginning to assert their authority here.
6:21pm
Cats back to full strength.
6:19pm
GOAL! (Telford 1, Wildcats 2, 20.21)
Cats have scored an early period goal again, but this time it was shorthanded. Hoog tucked it away from Nell's assist.
6:18pm
Tom Murdy has replaced Dean Skinns between the pipes for Cats tonight.
6:17pm
Period two has started.
6:15pm
Players back out.
6:09pm
There is no programme tonight, which is making things interesting. Watt has had the book thrown at him penalty-wise.
6:07pm
Declan Ryan replaced Hollyhead for the remainder of the first period.
6:06pm
Watt seemed riled on several occasions before that huge ruckus. Play was somewhere else and suddenly he launched into Hollyhead like nobody's business. Within seconds it was absolute carnage. Unbelievable scenes.
6:03pm
End of period one.
6:02pm
Massively kicks off. Nicky Watt goes flying in on netminder Barry Hollyhead and gets in a few shots. Then everyone piles in by the boards and it's a massive mess of players and officials.
5:59pm
Two minutes to Joe Baird for boarding.
5:58pm
Telford not looking too bad a side on tonight's evidence.
5:55pm
Four minutes left of period one.
5:49pm
Goal in the first minute? You should be late more often! @nedpayne1 #swindonwildcats #gocatsgo

Big internet connection issues at the moment I'm afraid.

Perkkio slapshot is well-saved.

Telford powerplay.
5:35pm
GOAL! (Telford 0, Wildcats 1, 0.41)
Matias Perkkio gets Cats off to the perfect start on the rebound. Assists Jonas Hoog and Aaron Nell.
5:34pm
Welcome to Telford versus Wildcats in the EPL. Apologies for the (very) late start. Let's call it travel issues.
