The following weekend a heavy 7-4 defeat in Nottingham preceded an excellent 6-2 win at the Spectrum against the Sheffield Steelers. A midweek win at the Skydome with another 6 goals scored came before consecutive 4-3 losses beyond regulation at Dundee and Belfast. The losses continued with a 3-1 reversal on home ice against the Cardiff Devils followed by a 4-2 defeat by the Clan in Glasgow. The winless streak, their longest of the season, was stretched to five games with the Steelers victorious at the Spectrum before the rot was halted in Nottingham with a 4-2 win. The following weekend the Flames scooped maximum points with a 6-2 win on Tayside followed by a 3-2 shootout success against the Steelers in Surrey. Last weekend they hosted Manchester and allowed their visitors to come from two goals down late in the game before losing out in a shootout. The next night they went to Coventry and were three goals behind before mounting a comeback that fell short in a 3-2 defeat.
