Head Coach, Danny Stewart, said: "Belfast are a great team. They have a lot of firepower, as much as anyone in the league.

"Two goalies who can go out and win them the game - and good, skillful, puck-moving defencemen.

"We're still confident. When we play the way we can and we have all guys going, I think we can beat anyone."
