It's Challenge cup action for four teams on Saturday night in the EIHL.
A sold-out Storm Shelter is set to see Manchester Storm take on Sheffield Steelers in Group C. For the visitors, it will be their first game back on the ice since the tragic events of October, while Storm return home after an overtime loss in Cardiff on Friday night. Manchester are currently the lowest-ranked team through to the next round of the cup, and will only improve their record if they can give the Steelers their first defeat of the competition.

At the Skydome, Coventry Blaze host Guildford Flames in what will go some way to deciding the order in which the two teams finish behind Cardiff Devils in Group B, and therefore their seeding for the next round. Both teams have four points from six games played, and both have failed to win in each other's building so far this season. Guildford were the only team to win both of their games last weekend.
