They need two more wins from the last four games of the season to win their first ever title.<br \/>\nOn Saturday, they gained two more points to reinforce their lead after thrashing the Dundee Stars 4-1.<br \/>\nAfter an uneventful first period, both Mark Richardson and Joey Haddad managed to score, giving the Devils two goals in the second period. The Dundee Stars\u2019 Cale Tanaka also found the net, making the score 2-1 as the second period came to a close.<br \/>\nTwo more goals in the third period rounded off a confident performance for the Devils. Haddad scored his second of the night while Josh Batch guided the puck around the Dundee Stars\u2019 defence and fired it past their goalkeeper to make the final score 4-1.<br \/>\nDespite their strong performance against the Dundee Stars, Devils fared worse against the Steelers the following day in Sheffield.<br \/>\nThe two teams appeared to be setting the stage for a close match in the opening period, with both the Devils\u2019 player-coach Andrew Lord and Steelers\u2019 Robert Dowd scoring in the first few minutes to make it 1-1.<br \/>\nHowever, less than two minutes later, Devils\u2019 Ben Bowns was forced to leave the match with an injury after his teammate Andrew Hotham was pushed into his own goal and fell on him. He was replaced by Thomas Murdy.<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18952\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18952\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-18952\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/bowns_injury-1024x591.jpg\" alt=\"Bowns down on the ice after his injury.\" width=\"960\" height=\"554\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/bowns_injury-1024x591.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/bowns_injury-300x173.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/bowns_injury-770x445.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/bowns_injury-1536x887.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/bowns_injury-500x289.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/bowns_injury-293x169.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/bowns_injury-1400x809.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/bowns_injury.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18952\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-18952\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/bowns_injury-1024x591.jpg\" alt=\"Bowns down on the ice after his injury.\" width=\"960\" height=\"554\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/bowns_injury-1024x591.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/bowns_injury-300x173.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/bowns_injury-770x445.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/bowns_injury-1536x887.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/bowns_injury-500x289.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/bowns_injury-293x169.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/bowns_injury-1400x809.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/bowns_injury.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/noscript> Bowns down on the ice after his injury.<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\nPowerplay opportunities in the second period gave both teams a second goal.

We weren\u2019t good enough to be honest and to beat a team like that, we need everyone and then some, and we didn\u2019t quite have that,\u201d he said.<br \/>\n\u201cThey obviously had a game plan to get under our skin and we didn\u2019t handle that as well as we normally do. We\u2019ll obviously address that this week.<br \/>\n\u201cI\u2019m not sure what was in everyone\u2019s minds but to beat a team like this, no matter what the stage or the standings, it\u2019s got to be a full team effort. We have to battle more than ever.\u201d<br \/>\nLord also said he hoped Bowns would be fully recovered for the last four games of the season.<br \/>\nNext weekend, they will be facing the Fife Flyers at home as well as the Sheffield Steelers away once more.
