The Spartans will face the Peterborough Islanders this Sunday in the second leg of the ENL Cup Final (5.00pm Face-off).

Last weekend the Spartans played the first leg in Petebrough. Sheffield were without a number of players due to the Conference weekend in Hull, Chris Turner was suspended and Dan Hughes was also unavailable. Oli Barron stepped in to complete three full lines and Arron Strawson was back after missing nearly a full season.

The Spartans battled to take a 5-5 draw, with two goals from Matt Haywood, two goals from Arron Strawson and a goal from Will Barron.  Netminder Dmitri Zimozdra was injured in the warm up, with no back up available he decided to continue and play the full game. Dmitri later went to hospital and has now had an operation on his severed tendon and will miss the home leg. Andrew Turner will also miss the final game, he suffered a broken foot after blocking a shot in the third period.

The Spartans will look to make the most of the home ice advantage and hope to retain their ENL Cup title from last season.
