It's a full schedule of games on Saturday night in Week 9's Elite Ice Hockey League action.
Guildford Flames start the day's events with a home league game against Glasgow Clan. The Flames picked up a road win in Manchester on Friday night to make it two wins on the spin, while the Clan have won just one of their last six. Guildford have won the last seven straight games at home to Glasgow, a streak stretching back to March 2022.

In Belfast, the Giants face Fife Flyers in Challenge Cup action. The Giants lead Group B and are in pole position to secure a place directly in the Semi-Finals. A win today would put them almost there. Fife are all-but eliminated from the competition but will be mathematically out with defeat here.

Two in-form teams meet at Dundee Ice Arena in league play on Saturday night. The Stars have won four of their last five games in all competitions including a pair of wins over Nottingham. Coventry only dropped their first league game last weekend against Belfast, but responded with an excellent Cup victory in Cardiff midweek.

Crucial Cup Group A action at the Utilita Arena sees Sheffield Steelers host Manchester Storm. The Steelers will book their place in the Semi-Finals with a win and have dropped just one point so far in seven games - a shootout loss to the Storm. Manchester Currently sit third in the group but could put themselves in a great position if they can pick up a victory here. A loss would leave Storm just a point above the teams chasing them with only a visit to Coventry remaining, and in danger of being usurped by both the Blaze and Cardiff.
