In the 11th minute of the first period in front of a three quarters full crowd at the Sky Dome, the Blaze took a controversial lead when Barrie Moore ended up taking the Devils net minder into the net allowing Jon Coleman to score his first goal since his move to Coventry.
The 75 travelling fans from the Welsh capital who had seen their side triumph 3-1 last night, watched a hard hitting first period, short of quality but with plenty of aggression.
Now, the Blaze have struggled with not being able to score on a powerplay but just before the end of the second period, Carlyle Lewis scored whilst Cardiff were a man down. For Man Of The Match Lewis, it silenced the Cardiff fans who had been calling him 'chicken' and booed him even after the players had shook hands at the end of the match.
The second period, which had been pretty dull, ended with a mass punch up. Scott Kelman, who scored against Cardiff last night, came out the winner.
Both sides missed significant numbers of penalties with Blaze often down to four men.
On 58.52, Ben Connor wrapped up the match when he scored for Blaze. The Cardiff players were by now well and truly riled and with eight seconds remaining, a big fight started in which the Devils came out on top.
Blaze coach Paul Thompson went ballistic at the referee and the match ended with JF Perras and Jon Coleman getting game misconducts and the Devils booed off the ice.
