Well there is a lot to dissect in that game.

Meanwhile Guildford beat Sheffield 5-4 in overtime so the Giants now lead the Flames by four points and Sheffield by five and Cardiff by six with four games remaining for all the teams except Guildford who can close the gap to just two points if they beat Coventry on Wednesday night in their game in hand.

Post-match interviews should be interesting.

It's a huge penalty call - could it be a title deciding call - we'll find out over the next 2 weekends

We'll be back on Friday night when the Giants face-off with the Sheffield Steelers at 7pm...

Tripping call on Tyler Beskorowany gives the Devils a powerplay and Jake Coughler rips home the winner.

The two sides have a stand-off at the end of the game and Adam Keefe is not happy to say the least with the call by the officials

Either could have won it...neither did so we are going to overtime - Giants have at least a three point weekend

This is turning into a barnburner - scramble in front of Ben Bowns and Scott Conway is there to pick up the pieces - 7 minutes to go

Guildford still 4-3 up in Sheffield

Giants can't clear their zone - Devils more hungry and eventually Jake Coughler slots the puck home

Ciaran Long hot the crossbar for the Giants while Joey Martin forced Tyler Beskorowany into his biggest save of the game

Still 4-3 to Guildford over Sheffield

What a period that was - the Devils were well on top but the clipping call on Will Cullen which replays suggest he simply dodged the check, galvanised the Giants and somehow they've got themselves back into this game.

Guildford score with six seconds left in the second period to take a 4-3 lead over Sheffield.

What a title race this is - what a 20 minutes to come....

Adam Keefe rolls the dice on back-to-back powerplays and keeps his top line on the ice for almost 4 minutes and Mark Cooper on the doorstep ties the game at 3-3

The Steelers have tied the game at 3-3 against Guildford.

In Belfast the Giants are still second best, the exception is Matty McLeod who has forced Ben Bowns into a couple of saves but they are leaving plenty of ice at the back end for Cardiff to capitalise on....10:01 to go

Then Will Cullen ducks under a check and mayhem breaks out.

In the end it's a Devils powerplay

Lots of work to do for the Giants in the second period but have they already dug too deep a hole to get out off?

Great period from the Cardiff Devils - they dominated the Giants and their only disappointment will be not to be further in front having had three powerplay opportunities.

Not sure how angry Adam Keefe gets but his side have just played their worst period of hockey in a long time. No urgency, too many mistakes, they look tired.

Can they pick themselves up?

The Flames have taken a 3-1 lead in Sheffield while the Giants continue to turn the puck over. They're being dominated physically by the Devils who are winning the majority of the puck battles - 3 minutes left in the first period

Devils think they have a fourth goal but after video review it's waved off for a high-stick but it's a controversial moment as after the high-stick the Giants didn't play on and Cardiff scored. No goal however the decision

Another bad mistake at the offensive blueline by the Giants allows another 2-on-1 and Justin Crandall beats Tyler Beskorowany.

Here in Belfast the Giants kill a Cardiff powerplay,

In Sheffield its the Flames who take the lead - 1-0 Guildford

Just 71 seconds into the game and a strong offensive zone shift by the Cardiff Devils results in a really well worked goal from Sam Jardine - home crowd stunned

So much at stake - a Giants win could set up the opportunity to win the league next weekend.

A Devils victory keeps them alive and the title race unlikely to be decided until the last weekend of the season.

HERE WE GO!
