Devils Vs Panthers - Jan 2013

26th Jan 2013 | Posted by Geraint Walters

The Cardiff Devils welcome the Elite league leaders Nottingham Panthers to Cardiff Bay this Sunday @ 6pm. The Panthers are currently top of the league by 2 points over last years winners the Belfast Giants. Corey Neilson's side had a perfect chance to take control of the top sport last weekend but lost 5-4 v the Giants at home but managed to pick up a 4-2 win in Sheffield the following night.

This weekend sees the Panthers play at the NIC V Coventry and are expected to be back to full strength with the news that Pat Galivan is back training and looks to be in the lineup for the big weekend. With 18 games left, the title is still up for grabs and this will make the final few weeks very interesting.

This is the 6th meeting(League + CC) between the two teams and the Panthers lead 3-2 with top performances from :

David Ling G 8 A 3 PTS 11
Bruce Graham G 1 A 6 PTS 7
David Clarke G 1 A 2 PTS 3

Looking at the Devils top performers v Nottingham

Mac Faulkner G 4 A 2 PTS 6
Stuart Macrae G 2 A 3 PTS 5
Chris Blight G 2 A 3 PTS 5
Phil Hill G 1 A 2 PTS 3
