Happy birthday Russky and I hope that your prediction of a Devils win by 4 is correct

Jess predicts a 4-0 Devils win

Donna & Megan go for a 6-2 win for their beloved Devils

Just had a look at William Hill odds for tonights game. Devils 1/7 is a no bet situation unless you need to launder £100k

I will stick with the horses - well done to Oscar Whisky who won At Cheltenham this afternoon, his summer in the paddocks at Lisvane must have done him good

Spearsy calls it 4-1 to the Devils

Gair our MNL texter in Dundee is hoping for a 3-2 win for the Stars in O/T - now thats a surprise

If the number of texters missing is anything to go by tonights crowd will be very small

This Devils by 4 goals is very popular tonight, Andy predicts a 6-2 Devils win

Warmup underway

BBT near empty says one texter

Another 6-2 Devils win prediction from Ellis

Jeff Pierce not in warmup

Will get you team news when I have it

Mark Smith and Gerad Adams are sratches as expected

Luke Piggot ices for Devils, Adam Harding injured

Warmup done & dusted

Trying to find out why no Pierce

I have had one explanation but need it confirmed

Unconfirmed reports that Jeff Pierce is sick

If he has some sickness its best to keep it out of the dressingroom or we will end up with a whole team under the weather

Confirmed Pierce has a stomach bug
