Devils leave it late to beat Flames

Three late goals saw Cardiff Devils begin their Elite League weekend with a 4-1 victory over Guildford Flames.

Ethan Strang put the visitors ahead after just 23 seconds, and after having a goal chalked off on review, Devils equalised through Cedric Lacroix to make it 1-1 at the end of the first period.

Fans at the Vindico Arena then had to wait until almost the 58th minute for another score, that coming from Gleason Fournier.

Two empty nets then saw Lacroix add a second, with Josh MacDonald having the final say.

Devils travel to Fife Flyers on Sunday, with Flames hosting Manchester Storm on Sunday.
