Blaze wins keep them in the hunt

Coventry Blaze have reduced the deficit behind the Sheffield Steelers at the top of the Elite League to eight points and with two games in hand.

Fourth-placed Blaze won twice at the weekend, but the Steelers were beaten by Cardiff and Belfast.

On Saturday Adam Calder and Dan Carlson shared four goals in the 7-1 win over Hull at the Skydome Arena.

Tom Watkins and Jonathan Weaver scored the Blaze goals as they beat Manchester 2-1 in Altrincham on Sunday.
