Cardiff Devils bounced back from losing at home on Friday to win 4-1 at Coventry Blaze and remain top of the Elite Ice Hockey League (EIHL).

Having been beaten 3-2 by Nottingham Panthers in Cardiff 24 hours earlier, the Devils opened the scoring after 12 minutes at the Coventry Skydome through Thomas Caron.

Brandon Estes doubled Cardiff's advantage before the first break, with the remaining goals all coming in the second period.

First, Sam Ruffin pulled a goal back for the Blaze, but two powerplay scores in under two minutes from Nolan Yaremko and Josh MacDonald secured back-to-back road victories for Paul Thompson's side.

"In the two years I've been with Cardiff this was the best we've played in Coventry," said the Devils coach.

"Powerplay was hot again tonight, we don't get too many powerplays but when we do we're converting on them.

"We're pleased to come into a place like this against a very good team and come away with the points."

The win took Cardiff to 17 points from 11 games, two ahead of Sheffield Steelers who won 6-3 at Guildford Flames on Saturday. The Steelers complete the weekend with a home game against Coventry on Sunday.

The Devils are next in action on Friday when they host Manchester Storm before travelling to face Sheffield on Sunday, 22 November.
