Three Challenge Cup fixtures are scheduled for Sunday, with results potentially reshaping both groups. Sheffield Steelers host Guildford Flames after Sheffield lost 3-2 to Nottingham Panthers on Saturday, allowing Nottingham to move top of Group A. The Steelers have 10 points from seven games, one behind the Panthers, and could regain first place with a win, depending on other results. Guildford have seven points after beating Manchester Storm 4-3 in a shootout on Saturday.
Glasgow Clan return to Braehead Arena after defeats to Dundee Stars and Belfast Giants, including a 6-5 overtime loss to Dundee on Wednesday. Clan are third in Group B on seven points, level with second-placed Fife Flyers, who have played one fewer game. Fife lost 4-3 at home to Dundee on Saturday.
Coventry Blaze host Nottingham at the Skydome after earning a point in a 5-4 overtime loss to Cardiff Devils. Coventry have five points from six games and are sixth in Group A. Nottingham lead the group with 11 points from eight games after Ben Corbeil scored the late winner against Sheffield; Sheffield could move back above them earlier on Sunday.
