Coventry Blaze will need to produce one of the all-time great aggregate-deficit comebacks if they're to advantage to the Semi-Finals of the Viaplay challenge Cup on Thursday night.
Danny Stewart's team go into their Quarter-Final second leg against Guildford Flames five goals behind after the first leg in Surrey on Saturday. "We just have to go at them," said the Blaze Head Coach at the weekend. "There's no pressure on us, we just have to be ready to go and see if we can get a couple of goals on them early."
The Blaze have yet to lose at home to the Flames in cup action, but were beaten by the Flames in league play at the Skydome already this season. Guildford haven't lost in 10 straight games and currently top the Viaplay Elite League - the Flames are aiming to make their the Semi-Finals for the second time in three seasons.
