Cardiff Devils beat Flames to end winless run

Cardiff Devils halted their winless run as late goals secured a 3-1 win at Guildford Flames in the Elite League on Sunday evening.

Devils had suffered a fourth successive defeat 24 hours earlier in losing 5-3 at home to Coventry Blaze.

Face off at Guildford Spectrum was delayed for nearly 90 minutes because of issues with a section of the ice.

Zach O'Brien gave Devils the lead in the first period before Daniel Catenacci levelled in the second period.

But Jarrod Gourley and O'Brien' second of the game sealed victory for Devils in the final period.

Devils next face Sheffield Steelers in the second leg of the Challenge Cup semi-final on Wednesday, 12 February.

Steelers were 5-3 winners in the first leg with the winners facing Belfast Giants or Nottingham Panthers in the final.
