Devils head to the house of rust Sunday night for a Challenge Cup match up against the steelers. The group table is tight at the top and a win would allow us to leapfrog the traffic cones into the guaranteed advancement placement.

With Manchester winning last night (3-2 OTW against Guilford) Group A is very tight. If Manchester win again tonight in Guildford there will be five teams on 10-12 points, with one or two games remaining for each. Getting something from this game in Sheffield would be a great boost for the Devils' cause.

As usual us v them can go either way, and is a difficult prediction to make, play as we can is definately needed and a full 60 mins crucial. Obviously qualifying for the latter stages is so important for confidence and financial, be good to see our guys firing on all cylinders as well as tonight obviously.

It's in tight games that special teams are key. Those that are strong and working well usually get the results.

Judging by the statistics above, our special teams wither need a lot of hard work, or a lot of luck. :(
