Devils start Challenge Cup with win at Guildford

Cardiff Devils' Josh MacDonald picked up the man of the match for his three assists at Guildford

Cardiff Devils continued their strong start to the 2024-25 season with a 6-2 victory at Guildford Flames in the Challenge Cup.

Matt Alvara fired Guildford in front after just 21 seconds, before Brett Perlini equalised in the sixth minute.

And Cardiff raced into a 4-1 lead courtesy of a four-minute blitz in the third period, with Zach O'Brien, Evan Mosey and Joey Martin netting in quick succession.

Lewis Hook responded for the hosts before Ryan Barrow restored Cardiff's three-goal cushion - with Ben Davies adding a sixth midway through the third period to complete an emphatic triumph.

Devils return to action against Manchester Storm on Friday, 20 September (19:30 BST), with Flames taking on Sheffield Steelers on Saturday, 21 September (19:00 BST).
