All ten teams are in action this Saturday night in Week 20 of the 2023/24 Elite Ice Hockey League season.
Belfast Giants and Cardiff Devils meet for Part I of their weekend double-header at the SSE Arena. With both sides chasing down leaders Sheffield, and some distance behind already, a split series is something neither team can afford if they're to have any chance of catching the Steelers. The sides have a win each against each other so far this season, with the road team coming out on top both times.

Three points and two places separate Guildford Flames and Dundee Stars through the opening 19 weeks of this season, in start contrast to 2022/23 when the Flames were in a title hunt and the Stars were languishing at the foot of the table. Marc LeFebvre's revived Stars have beaten the Flames in all three meetings so far this season, two of which were down in Surrey. Dundee have two wins from their last five games, while the Flames have just one.

Fife Flyers' chances of making the playoffs could swing one way or the other based on what happens in this weekend's home and home series with Manchester Storm. The sides meet in Altrincham tonight followed by Kirkcaldy on Sunday with the Flyers six points off the pace having played two games more than both Manchester and Glasgow above them. Storm added Raymond Brice midweek.

Nottingham Panthers and Coventry Blaze meet at the Motorpoint Arena hoping to end losing runs. The Blaze picked up one point out of four last weekend before being eliminated from the cup midweek, but still sit fifth overall. Nottingham came close to take points off leaders Sheffield in their last home game before being shut out in Manchester.

Leaders Sheffield Steelers face Glasgow Clan 24 hours after the sides met in Scotland. Clan are one of only a handful of teams to have beaten the Steelers so far this season, and did it at the Utilita Arena.
