The Belfast Giants travel to face the Cardiff Devils tomorrow night in their last away fixture of the campaign before the league season comes to an end with a doubleheader at the SSE Arena against this years Elite League Champions, the Sheffield Steelers.

The Devils were beaten 4-0 by the Steelers tonight, which means it is still mathematically possible that the Giants could catch Cardiff in second, although tomorrow's hosts remain four points ahead with a game in hand.

That's everything from the SSE Arena tonight, thank you for joining us and goodnight!

What a game at the SSE Arena tonight and it's the home side who come away with the two points as they are the 5-0 victors.

We didn't have to wait long to see the first goal as just 59 seconds in, Ara Nazarian broke the deadlock after superb build-up play from the forward.

In the second period there were three penalty shots, two for the Giants and one for Glasgow, with Bobby MacIntyre the only one able to convert their shot.

It didn't take long for the Giants to extend their lead after their second penalty shot though as Ciaran Long made it 3-0 less than a minute later.

The goals weren't done there as Bobby MacIntyre netted his second of the evening and David Goodwin found the back of the net in the final period.

It was an impressive performance from Giants netminder Jackson Whistle, who registered 33 saves during his shut-out performance.

Adam Keefe's men are now unbeaten at home in their last nine games and it was a dominant and clinical performance from them tonight.

The Giants add a fifth as Daniel Tedesco's shot from range is tipped into the back of the net by David Goodwin at the right hand post.

Adam Keefe will be delighted with his side's performance tonight.

As I said in my previous update, the Giants were pushing for a goal and their persistence has paid off as it is now 4-0!

On the powerplay Bobby MacIntyre's one timer sails past Antti Karjalainen to extend the home side's advantage.

You're not going to come much closer than that!

Oliver Cooper finds space near the crease, but his resulting shot is inches wide of the left hand post.

The Giants return to full strength as the third period gets underway.

Another busy period, during which we saw two goals and three penalty shots.

Jackson Whistle has been a brick wall in the Giants net and saved the Clan's penalty shot as well as making some huge saves to deny the away side from getting on the score-sheet.

More goals to come in the final period?

Dyson Stevenson's shot looks destined to make it 3-1, but a superb save from Jackson Whistle denies the goal-bound effort.

The away side are now on the powerplay though and will be for the remainder of the period as Blake Speers has been called for slashing.

Darien Craighead's penalty shot is well saved by Jackson Whistle to keep the score 3-0!

Another penalty shot, this time for Glasgow.

Darien Craighead will take it - will he put an end to Jackson Whistle's hopes of a clean-sheet?

After a frantic five minutes, the tempo has dropped with the Giants content with keeping possession in the neutral zone and Glasgow struggling to test Jackson Whistle.

Worrying signs as Jackson Whistle is down after a collision.

However, after receiving treatment it looks like he will be able to play on to the relief of the home fans, who certainly wouldn't want to play without Whistle who is in red-hot form.

The home side might not have been able to convert the second penalty shot, but it doesn't take them long to further extend their lead as Ciaran Long has just made it 3-0!

Long controls a loose puck and skates forward before firing five-hole.

Certainly a lot to talk about in this game so far!

Greg Printz can't convert the second penalty shot, so the score remains 2-0.

Well, well,well...

The Giants are awarded another penalty shot less than 30 seconds after the first as Greg Printz is interfered as the home side breakaway once again.

I don't think I have ever seen two penalty shots in such quick succession before!

Bobby MacIntyre converts his penalty shot to double the home side's lead!

Bobby MacIntyre finds himself through on goal, but is hooked by an inrushing Glasgow player, so the Giants are awarded a penalty shot.

It looks like MacIntyre is stepping up to take it...

The second period is underway in Belfast

Well, that was a busy first period!

Plenty of action to talk about, but just the one goal which came within the first minute when the lightning quick Ara Nazarian used his speed to rob a Glasgow skater of the puck before steering his shot past Antti Karjalainen.

It proved to be a busy period for Glasgow netminder Karjalainen, however, Jackson Whistle had to make a good save to deny Robert Lachowicz's shot.

In the final two minutes David Goodwin, Daniel Tedesco, Will Cullen and Ciaran Long all had chances, but no one could find the back of the net before the break.
