Sheffield Steeldogs bounced back from a 5-3 defeat against Lightning to record an unlikely victory on home ice against Guildford Flames.

Bosas completed a remarkable turnaround in the second minute of the extra period with his fourth of the match to secure a 5-4 win.

Peterborough Phantoms won 4-1 at home to Bracknell Bees and they made it a four-point weekend with a stylish 5-2 victory at Telford Tigers.

Aaron Nell scored twice for Swindon Wildcats in their 3-1 home success against Telford, and he went one better with a hat-trick at Bracknell as Wildcats ran out 7-4 winners.
