Sheffield Steelers could finish Sunday night 14 points clear at the top of the Elite League standings if they can beat Dundee Stars.
In what will be the leaders' 27th fixture of the 54-game league season, they entertain a Stars team that beat Glasgow in overtime on Saturday night to go three points clear in fifth. Dundee have collected at least a point in their last five games, putting together a run of eight points out of the last 10 on offer. Sheffield continued their unbeaten road record in Manchester on Saturday, and have won 13 straight since losing in overtime to Guildford in early December.

Guildford Flames have the chance to go level in qecond place if they can beat Manchester Storm in Sunday's final game. After picking up an OT win in Fife, the Flames are two points shy of Belfast with this being their game in hand. Manchester have won two of their last seven games, one of which was against Guildford on Boxing Day; however, they were shut out by the Flames 24 hours later in the reverse fixture.
