Thursday night action in the Viaplay Elite League sees two teams chasing down the top two in action, while their opponents are trying to stay in the race for a playoff place.
Belfast Giants host Fife Flyers at 7pm at the SSE Arena. The Giants find themselves some eight points off the top two in the standings and will need to make use of this game in hand if they're to edge closer. They also trail Coventry in fourth by three points but have two games to make up on the Blaze. Fife hold the last available playoff spot by a point, and are trying to win their first league game since 2 December after five straight defeats.
