Three games round off Week 20 in the 2023/24 Elite Ice Hockey League season.
Belfast Giants host Cardiff Devils for the second part of their weekend double-header from 4pm. After a Devils win on Saturday night, the Giants slipped to fourth in the standings. Leaders Sheffield are not playing tonight, but would likely be hoping for a Giants win to keep them 16 points clear at the top.

In Scotland, Fife Flyers and Manchester Storm meet again after the latter's OT win on home ice on Saturday night. Those two points for Storm moved them seven points clear in a playoff place, while Fife's point moved t o up to within five of a place in the post-season. Fife have played more games than anyone else this season, and will have only 18 left after tonight.

The day's final game is in Coventry, where the Blaze host Nottingham after beating the Panthers in a shootout on Saturday night. Both sides came back from deficits to lead at that game in the Motorpoint Arena, but it was the Blaze who took the bonus point and stayed fifth. A win for them here, and a defeat for Belfast, would see Coventry end the night in fourth. The Panthers getting a point puts them nine points off a playoff place, although they still have 24 games to make up that difference.
