Tom Barrasso’s Sheffield Steelers gently nudged themselves further into the top six and extended their lead from falling out of the playoffs to five points thanks seeing off a late Blaze fight back.

A shot wide from Jonathan Phillips eventually led to the opening goal in the game – Evan McGrath tried the wrap-around with Matt Hackett out of position, and Anthony DeLuca eventually poked the puck over the line from close range to give the Steelers the lead at 14:41. John Armstrong on the breakaway with a lovely move around Hackett led to the hosts going two ahead shorthanded early in the second period, but the Blaze were to cut the deficit in half at 26:52 – Nicolai Bryhnisveen given far too much time and space to shoot past Jackson Whistle into the net.

DeLuca grabbed his second of the game at 31:16 as his slapshot crept through Hackett’s five-hole and rolled into the net, and by 46:35 Josh McFadden put the Steelers into a 4-1 lead. But the Blaze weren’t out of it yet, and duly started a fight back – Ben Lake got them stated when he was left unattended at the back post to tap in at 49:27, and with 2:07 to play in the game Kevin Morris brought the score back to 4-3. The Steelers held on though for a win to avenge last week’s shootout loss in Coventry.
