Cardiff Devils and Guildford Flames return to home ice for the second legs of their Challenge Cup Quarter-Finals with slight leads from last week's first legs.
The Devils had found themselves in a hole in Glasgow a week ago, but came back from 3-1 down to take a 4-3 win back to the Vindico Arena. Clan will have to win the game by one to force overtime - something they've only managed twice on their last 10 visits to Cardiff in competitive action. In 2018/19, it was the Clan who eliminated the Devils at this very stage.

In Guildford, the Flames will start with a two-goal advantage over Fife Flyers as they look to make the Semi-Finals against the side that got all the way to the Final last season. The Flyers will need to end a six-game winless streak if they're to send any chance of overcoming the two-goal deficit, and a first win in Guildford since February 2022.

Tied on aggregate after 120 minutes?
If any of tonight's second legs end tied on aggregate after regulation - that is to say, the overall score is tied after six periods, the following process applies:
- A five-minute, sudden death, overtime period
- If the score is still tied: A 'Best of 5' shootout, followed by a sudden death shootout if needed
