Fife Flyers hit the ice on Sunday evening trying to make it a perfect week, while Belfast, Coventry and Guildford look to end on a high.

Coventry head back to the Skydome after an excellent road win in Glasgow on Saturday night sent them fifth in the table. The blaze got past the clan 6-4 despite only having 14 skaters and leapfrogged the Flames who slumped to a 5-1 home defeat to Fife.

If the Blaze can win again tonight, it would give them two wins from three this week despite an injury-hit squad, and potentially put them within a point of the top four.

Guildford's return home after two straight weeks  of road games didn't go as planned, with the Flames slipped to their third defeat in five games. The last time these two teams met in Coventry, the Blaze took a shootout win.

Having put together three straight wins in the Elite League for the first time since September 2019, Fife Flyers are back on home ice looking to make it four in a row.

Of the Flyers' nine wins in the league this season, 33% of them have come in the last eight days in a remarkable turn of form. With Dundee not playing tonight, the Flyers have the chance to end the week only four points adrift.

Standing in their way are a Belfast team who overcame Friday's overtime defeat in Dundee with a thumping 7-0 thrashing of the Starts yesterday. That puts Adam Keefe's side on two wins from three during this week's lengthy road trip, having scored 17 goals and conceding just five. 

Fife's last win over the Giants was in November 2019.
