The Storm, sitting on a .500 record from their first four games, take on a Cardiff Devils side that won both fixtures in their opening weekend of competitive action in Week 2.

Loren Ulett made headlines last week with four of Storm's six goals in Fife, where Manchester picked up a 6-5 win thanks to a goal in the final minute, but his side were shut out on Friday night on their own ice by Nottingham Panthers. Storm have scored 13 goals and conceded 14 in four games so far. 

Cardiff Devils battled past Glasgow Clan 3-1 in their opening game at the Vindico Arena before three goals in almost as many minutes helped them build a lead in Guildford - they eventually ended with a 6-2 win against the Flames. New arrival Josh MacDonald already has four points in two games for the Devils.

The Devils have not lost in Manchester since January 2020, a run stretching 10 competitive games.
