Elite League: Cardiff Devils 3-1 Guildford Flames

Cardiff Devils got their Elite League challenge back on track with a narrow win over title rivals Guildford Flames at Ice Arena Wales.

Joey Martin and Justin Crandall scored within 30 seconds of each other to gave the home side a 2-0 lead after a fast and furious first period.

Ryan Tait pulled one back as Flames edged the second period.

And a tight contest went down to the final seconds when Cole Sanford broke clear to score in an empty net.

Devils, who lost 3-1 at Nottingham on Saturday, closed the gap on second-placed Flames to a point but remain five behind leaders Belfast Giants.

Flames have two games in hand over both their title rivals.
