Sheffield Steelers hoping Belfast Giants and Cardiff Devils slip up
Belfast Giants moved top of the Elite League thanks to Friday night's 6-3 victory over Dundee Stars at the SSE Arena.
It was their seventh consecutive win and they vaulted over Cardiff Devils, by a single point, although the Welsh have two games in hand and are on a four-match win of their own.
Sheffield have not given up on the title hunt, ofcourse.

Hide AdTonight they are at Nottingham Panthers - a team that would truly love to ruin Sheffield's season, although their results have been poor in the last couple of games.
Steelers had been expecting a good run from Belfast.
But Devils have a possible advantage in the way they shocked Belfast to progress to the Challenge Cup final after earning a 5-1 win to take an 9-6 aggregate success.
Tonight, it will be interesting to see whether Steelers Mike Ratchuk remains the odd one out, in terms of the unplayable import at the NIC.
