Week 21 of the 2024/25 season comes to a close with four games on Sunday.

Cardiff Devils hosting Belfast Giants headlines Sunday's fixtures, with the new league leaders visiting the team that were there for most of the season up until last weekend. The Giants will still be top after this game, but their lead of five points could be anything from extended to seven or cut to five by the end of the day. Belfast have won both meetings between the teams so far this season.

At 5.30pm, Coventry Blaze host Dundee Stars. The home side picked up an overtime point in Belfast on Saturday to stay within touching distance of the top four, while the Stars won a crucial battle against playoff rivals Manchester.

Also starting at 5.30pm is Manchester Storm welcoming Nottingham Panthers to the Storm Shelter. The Panthers picked up a Friday night win over Guildford to go third, but were knocked back down to fourth by Sheffield's win on Saturday over Storm. Manchester are five points off a playoff place with three games in hand.

The day's final game sees Guildford Flames host Sheffield Steelers from 6pm. It will be a milestone fixture for Steelers coach Aaron Fox, who will take sole possession of the most games coached behind the Steelers' bench with 338 gams to his name. It's also an important one for the Steelers who know that one of Cardiff or Belfast will drop points as they try to chase down the top two. Guildford will be trying to end the week on a high after defeats to the Giants and Panthers already over the pst four days.
