Date is huge play-off spot

still have one against Braehead — we will be OK. I know Coventry are still pinning their hopes on a play-off spot but I’m not interested in other teams. We need to do our own business and, if we take care of that, then we will be playing play-off hockey.

“The guys know what’s at stake and their attitude and commitment can’t be faulted. Sometimes it takes the simple things, like the bounce of the puck, to go your way but, if we continue to play hard for 60 minutes, get our special teams working like I know they can, then we will give ourselves more than a chance.

“The fans have been magnificent and their support means so much to us and we want to do it for them as well as for ourselves.”

Meanwhile, Dundee Comets will be looking to cement their place at the top of the Scottish National League when Aberdeen Lynx visit the DIA tomorrow.

Comets assistant coach John Gordon said: “Our guys are really up for the challenge ahead of them.

“Previous games against Aberdeen have been tight affairs and we don’t see this one being any different. It should be entertaining for the fans.

“Our end goal is to secure the points to continue our challenge on the SNL title.”

Face-off is at 7.30pm. Children U/12 go free if accompanied by an adult (£8). Concessions £4.

five straight wins against their nearest rivals this weekend as Dundee Stars aim to secure the all-important play-off spot.
