Two games this Friday evening kick off Week 4's Elite Ice Hockey League weekend action, with action in Belfast and Cardiff.

Back in domestic competition after their dramatic overtime win against Salzburg in the Champions Hockey League, Belfast Giants welcome Fife Flyers to what is expected to be a sold-out SSE Arena. The sides were separated by a just a single regulation goal when they met in Kirkcaldy two weeks ago, with the Flyers have gone on to with two further cup fixtures since then - Tom Coolen's team are on a three-game win streak. Belfast have yet to lose to EIHL opposition this season, and are on a six-game winning run in all EIHL competitions so far.

In Cardiff, the Devils host Group B rivals Coventry Blaze at 7.30pm with the Vindico Arena also heading for another capacity crowd. It was the Blaze who came out on top when these teams met at the Skydome a fortnight ago in a group where all three teams share one win after a pair of games played each.
