- Published
Elite League leaders Cardiff Devils maintained their impressive start to the season with victory over Manchester Storm at the Vindico Arena.
Devils held out to claim their seventh win in eight league games before turning their attention to the Challenge Cup at Coventry Blaze on Sunday.
A tense and goalless opening period against Storm ended with Devils' Riley Brandt handed a 20-minute penalty for checking to the Head.
And Storm took the lead six minutes into the second period when Grant Hebert broke the deadlock, though only after a referee's review.
Devils struck back twice to take the lead, first through Josh MacDonald and then a powerplay goal by Zach O'Brien, before extending their lead when Tyler Busch netted in the final period.
Alex D'Aoust pulled back a late goal 90 seconds from time to set up a frantic finale but Devils held out for another win.
