Three games start at 7pm this Saturday night in the Viaplay Elite League, and they've all got a lot riding on them at both ends of the league standings.
Belfast Giants and Sheffield Steelers go again for Part II of their weekend double-header. The Giants let a three-goal lead slip but recovered to win 5-3 on Friday night and move to just a point behind the Steelers - they can overtake them with a regulation win tonight. Sheffield, meanwhile, are looking to avoid a three-defeat week after losing in Fife on Wednesday in the cup.

In Cardiff, the Devils know they could end the night in second. A win for them over Fife and a defeat for Sheffield would see Brodie Dupont's team move up into one place off the lead. The Flyers come into this fixture off the back of an excellent cup win over Sheffield, and have won both of their last two league games.

Outside the top four, Manchester Storm host Nottingham knowing that if they want to finish sixth they're going to need to take points off the Panthers. Storm are four points behind the Panthers having played level games, and with the sides set to meet three more times after tonight it could well be these fixtures that decide their playoff places.
