The visitors took the lead in a game that will be shown by Sky on Friday night, through a goal from George Awada two minutes before the end of the first period.
It was a lead that lasted only three minutes of ice play before Scott Kelman equalised from assists by Sylvain Deschalets and Barrie Moore.
Scott Kelman in action
Paul Daniset had Belfast back in front but Paul Thompson's side were level fifteen seconds before the period ended through Corey LeClair who was assisted by Adam Calder.
Man Of The Match Danny Stewart picked up four penalty minutes for tripping and roughing with Kelman, Deschalets, Soderstrom,O'Connor,Lewis, Calder,Weaver all getting two minutes off the ice.
There was little for the Coventry support in a near full Sky Dome to cheer in the third and final period.
With nineteen seconds left, a poor decision by referee Hicks saw Steve Thornton score to give Belfast a victory,sparking a mass punch up.
