Edinburgh Capitals host inconsistent, mid-table Sheffield Steelers (face-off 6pm) seeking their second straight home win after last Sunday’s 4-3 success over Manchester Storm which snapped a 15-game losing run.

Elsewhere, Fife Flyers recovered from 5-1 down to edge long-time Elite League pace-setters Cardiff Devils 8-6 on their last visit.

It’s comeback which ranks among the best in the Elite League and Todd Dutiaume and his squad travel to the Principality on Sunday with optimism.

Devils, however, are anxious for revenge and the Welsh combine have already won 5-3 and 4-3 at The Fife Ice Arena.

It will be a massive test but the Kirkcaldy club have recently achieved an eight-game winning streak.

Braehead Clan travel to Dundee Stars (face-off 6.30pm) looking for a repeat of last Sunday’s 7-3 victory on Tayside.
