Fife’s 3rd games in 3 nights.

They’re also potentially down to 3 D.

Another win expected from me, we need to win this game in hand over Cardiff

4-1 Steelers.

Fully expecting another win.

Rok to start in goal maybe?

Having said that Barry hardly broke a sweat last night so may get the nod.

Need to keep both netminders up to scratch with equal ice time whilst playing the 'lesser' teams as it were, so we're in a good place to go with our bell cow when the likes of Belfast and Cardiff appear on the schedule.

Some of our forwards need to step up into goal scoring stats too.

Just a case of beating Owen we’ll create more than enough to net 5+ against a lowly Fife side.

Think Warburton will backup again tonight but wouldn’t like to guess who’ll get the nod, I’d go for Stojanovič.

We will be without the long term injured Brendan Connolly as well as David Phillips, Brandon Whistle & Cole Shudra as I’d expect Alex Graham to retain his place.

Fife were without Craig Peacock, Kristian Blumenschein, Colton Waltz & Richard Krogh last night, icing 17 players to our 19. But as smbmetal notes it sounds like one of those 4 D could be missing tonight.

Brad Day was backup last night in the first Fife game.

Stojanovič gets the nod, no Alex Graham so wi go with 18 players.

Fife are unchanged from last night.

I’ve been told Alex is hobbling round Ice Sheffield on crutches. Hope it’s not too serious.

Getting dominated early on. Fife 2-0 up. We can’t keep blaming long bus trips because Cardiff and Belfast don’t.

Fife have had the same bus trip as us, plus they’ve also travelled from Cardiff to us as well.

No excuses.
