Belfast need just two points to take the crown, meaning the trophy will be in the SSE Arena for their double-header with Nottingham Panthers this weekend. If it hasn’t been won on either Friday or Saturday, it will head to Manchester on Sunday.
That double-header is part of a four-game Friday night over the Easter weekend. Sheffield Steelers head to Dundee Stars, while Guildford are in Manchester again. Glasgow Clan host Fife Flyers in a Scottish derby game.
There is a full schedule of games on Saturday. Nottingham continue their road trip in Belfast with the second game in 24 hours, while Sheffield and Dundee meet again, this time at the Utilita Arena. Fife return home to face Coventry, with Cardiff taking on Manchester. The day’s early game sees Guildford host Glasgow.
On Sunday, Coventry welcome Cardiff to the Skydome, with Storm’s re-arranged fixtures against Manchester also on the schedule.
