Eight teams start Sunday's action, but only four will be left in contention for the 2024 Playoff title as the Quarter-Finals come to a close.

The games and the situations:

• 5pm: Dundee Stars vs. Cardiff Devils (Agg.: 2-4)
• 5.15pm: Fife Flyers vs. Sheffield Steelers (Agg.: 4-9)
• 5.30pm: Coventry Blaze vs. Belfast Giants (Agg.: 1-2)
• 6pm: Guildford Flames vs. Manchester Storm (Agg.: 5-1)

The rules:

• Whichever team is ahead after three periods tonight (and therefore 120 minutes over the aggregate-scoring series) advances to the Playoff Finals Weekend.
• If the teams are tied, we play a 5-minute, sudden-death overtime period.
• If the teams are still tied, a 'Best of 5' shootout follows, followed by a sudden-death shootout if needed.

Where to watch:

• Stars vs. Devils
• Flyers vs. Steelers
• Blaze vs. Giants
• Flames vs. Storm

What happens next?

• Shortly after the final game has concluded, we'll give you the full line-up for the Playoff Finals Weekend
• One certainty is that if the Steelers advance, they will play the 3pm game on Saturday 20 April as the highest seed heading into the Semi-Finals.
