Elite League play-offs: Cardiff Devils 1-2 Belfast Giants (OT) – Giants to face Steelers in final

Belfast Giants booked their place in the Elite League play-off final with a 2-1 overtime win over Cardiff Devils.

The Giants, who finished the regular season six points behind Cardiff, took control in the middle period and scored the opening goal through Blake Speers.

Devils equalised on a power-play through Cody Donaghey with less than four minutes to play, before Greg Printz won it for Belfast in overtime.

The Giants face Grand-Slam chasing Sheffield Steelers in Sunday’s final.

This fixture between by two of the league’s best sides in recent years has developed into a fierce rivalry but the action inside Nottingham’s Motorpoint Arena was more subdued than expected.

Daniel Tedesco and Justin Crandall had early chances but the most excitement generated in the first period was caused by a stray pigeon on the ice.

Cardiff’s Joey Martin had arguably the best chance to score in the first 20 minutes, but Ben Lake slashed the Devils’ forwards stick away at the last second – taking a two minute penalty for his action.
