One prediction so far, Pat predicts a 4-0 Devils win. I hope you are right but this Fife team are no mugs so need to be take seriously

Tonights ref is Stefan Hogarth with his Assistants being Liv Andersson and Ilia Kisil

Warm up is finished no news yet of Devils scratches

I would guess at least Joey Haddad and Craig Moore for certain.
