The Cardiff Devils' weekend against Coventry Blaze may have ended without a point but it has reaffirmed their supporters' belief in the team.

After recent lacklustre performances the Devils fans had questioned the commitment of their team but they can take heart from Cardiff's 4-3 defeat at the Coventry Sky Dome on Sunday. The Devils led for almost 20 minutes but were prevented from causing an upset courtesy of Steve Carpenter's power-play winner.

Manchester Phoenix also had a disappointing weekend with a 4-2 defeat to the Nottingham Panthers followed by a 2-0 loss to the Sheffield Steelers.

Eric Lind and Shin Larsson-Yahata put Phoenix ahead against Nottingham but the home side came back strongly, while on Sunday against a resurgent Sheffield, Phoenix weathered the pressure before falling behind to goals from Gerad Adams and Eric Anderson.
