Joey Martin attacks for Cardiff Devils at Coventry Blaze
Cardiff Devils slumped to their second Elite League loss of the weekend with a shootout defeat at Coventry Blaze.

With just under two minutes remaining, McNulty struck his second to send the game into overtime.
A scoreless extra period ushered in the shootout, with Blaze netminder Taran Kozun shutting out Devils while Kobe Roth, JD Dudek and McNulty scored.
On Saturday night, Nottingham Panthers had secured a 4-2 away win at Devils.
Alexander Lunsjo scored twice for Panthers in the first period to give the visitors a commanding lead.
Joey Martin pulled a goal back on the powerplay before forward Otto Nieminen restored Panthers' two-goal lead.
Didrik Henbrant added a fourth for the Panthers late in the second period, and Riley Brandt's late goal proved just a consolation for Devils.
Cardiff's back-to-back defeats see them lose touch with Sheffield Steelers at the top of the Elite League.
