Three games round out Week 12 across Sunday evening!

1730 Coventry Blaze vs. Sheffield Steelers
After a 3-1 defeat in Yorkshire, Coventry return to their own ice hoping to get their first home win of the season against Sheffield.

Both sides had logged road wins against each other prior to last night's clash, but the Blaze will now be keen to snap a streak of one win in six in the league. To do that, they'll need to find their first win against the Steelers at the Skydome since February 2019.

Sheffield are five points clear at the top and have won four straight since a week out for Continental Cup action.

1800 Cardiff Devils vs. Dundee Stars
Meeting two of the week between the Devils and Stars, and the second of what will be three in eight days by Wednesday, has the Devils back at home with little room to drop points in the title race.

Trailing Sheffield by five already, the Devils come into this game with the midweek cup defeat in Dundee still fresh in their memory. They took two points in Manchester last night with the help of an overtime winner. Brandon McNally is still suspended for tonight's game.

Dundee won their fourth straight home game yesterday, their fifth win in six games in all competitions. Omar Pacha's side climbed into the playoff places off the back of the derby win against Glasgow, and if they could start picking up points on the road they may begin to look further up the table than down it.

1800 Fife Flyers vs. Manchester Storm
Fife slipped out of the playoff places following yesterday's defeat in Belfast, which put them on a run of four straight losses since their four-point weekend in mid-November.

Manchester remained solid at home in an overtime loss against Cardiff, picking up a point to total 13 from 18 on their own ice. Road form has been their issue though with just one point from seven starts. The last time they went to Fife, they were soundly beaten 8-0.
