Elite League leaders Cardiff Devils bounced back with a thrilling 5-4 win away to bottom of the table Fife Flyers.

Devils, who had lost to Glasgow Clan on Friday, fell behind to an early Phelix Martineau but the visitors were soon level through Cole Sanford.

Lucas Chiodo and Jordy Stallard saw Fife 3-1 ahead at the end of the opening period.

Sanford provided the assist for Gleason Fournier to close the gap but within three minutes Massimo Carozza restored the home side’s two-goal advantage.

But Devils staged an extraordinary comeback with Sam Duggan and Joey Martin bringing them level before Brett Perlini’s winner in the final period.

Devils next host Sheffield Steelers on Wednesday, 27 November.
