Cardiff took the lead on 7.15 when Hill scored and added a second on 10.44 when Birbraer found the net.
Much to the delight of the Cardiff fans in a 70% full rink, and after both Adams and Jury had received five minutes for fighting, Richardson hit a third for the Devils and on 14.27,some 24 seconds after the third goal, Hill made it 4-0 to Cardiff.
Phillips hit a consolation for the Blaze on 49.07 but it was a long trip back to Coventry.
