Sheffield Steelers exacted the perfect revenge for Friday night's defeat in Belfast by shutting out the Giants 24 hours later.

An early Brendan Connolly goal extended his points streak to 14 games and gave the Steelers a one-goal lead after just 34 seconds. David Phillips' shot went all the way through at 44:54 to double the lead.

Belfast risked everything but Marc-Olivier Vallerand and Eric Meland both scored on the empty net at 57:47 and 59:42 respectively to secure a four-goal win for the Steelers.
