Hello there! Russky here in the hosting hot seat to bring you another exciting evening of Ice Hockey.

The warm up is in progress at the IAW. Devils fresh (hopefully) from their OT win last night ine the house of foil to take on the Nottingham Panthers, who themselves had OT winning drama against Guildford at the NIC last night.

Cornwall Taffy has been in touch with is via matchnightlive@gmail.com to give us his prediction of a Devils win 4-2

Dave Rees, who got his prediction spot on last night reckons on a 2-0 Devils Victory

Tom Darnell is the scheduled ref for tonights game.

Waiting on our texter, who wishes to remain anonymous but I wil call him Dexter(not his real name) to report in.

Two other games are already underway at the moment, Coventry are currently 2-0 up on Breahead coming to the end of the first period there. Manchester are 1-0 up against MK Lightning

The other games yet to start are Sheffield at Guildford, Belfast at Edinburgh; and Fife at Dundee
