A four-game Saturday night awaits us in Week 15 of the 2024/25 Elite Ice Hockey League season.
League leaders Cardiff Devils host Manchester Storm at the Vindico Arena, heading into the weekend with a five-point lead at the top of the standings. The Devils have played two more games than the pair of sides chasing them, but know that Belfast and Sheffield will face each other on Sunday. Cardiff narrowly stayed alive in the Challenge Cup midweek in Coventry, but got the regulation win they needed – that coming off the back of a one-point weekend. Manchester continue life with Mike Morin as interim head coach follow Mike Flanagan’s departure.
