The DPD Coventry Blaze return to the Skydome Arena this Saturday for a mouth-watering showdown with rivals the Cardiff Devils, looking to build on an impressive midweek victory over the Dundee Stars.
Blaze produced a convincing 5-1 win over the Stars, with Sam Ruffin making an impact follwoing his return from a lengthy injury layoff, scoring twice. Tanner Kaspick also got off the mark for the season, capping a positive performance after an injury-disrupted start to the campaign.
Márkó Csollák continued his impressive form from the blue line, blasting home his third goal of the season, while Evan Fitzpatrick was once again in outstanding form between the pipes. The netminder made 33 saves to take his save percentage to a league-leading 95.52%.
Artem Buzoverya was also influential in the face-off circle, winning 14 of his 20 draws. His 106 wins this season put him at the top of the league standings in that category, with a success rate of 55.21%.
There were further positives across the line-up, with Jack Hopkins picking up two assists and youngster Brynley Capps also getting on the scoresheet with an assist. The line featuring Ruffin proved particularly effective, providing plenty of attacking threat.
