Sheffield Steelers are to send video evidence to the British Ice Hockey Association after Jamie Leach, their leading points scorer, suffered a horrific injury in Thursday's defeat by Cardiff Devils. Leach had to leave the ice late in the game with a gash just below his left eye following a high sticking incident involving the Great Britain skipper, Shannon Hope. X-rays revealed a double fracture of the cheekbone which will keep him sidelined for up to six weeks.

SUPERLEAGUE: Manchester Storm 1 Cardiff Devils 2.

NHL: Buffalo 5 Hartford 1; Detroit 5 Washington 4 (ot); NY Islanders 4 New Jersey 1; Ottowa 5 NY Rangers 2; Pittsburgh 3 Montreal 3 (ot); Tampa Bay 3 Florida 3 (ot); Chicago 4 St Louis 4 (ot); Los Angeles 5 Phoenix 2; San Jose 6 Vancouver 1.
