Seven teams are still in with a chance of reaching the Planet Ice NIHL National Division Final Four after an intriguing weekend of play-off hockey.
Regular season champions Leeds Knights moved onto seven points from a possible eight in Group A, despite their weekend starting with an overtime defeat at Peterborough Phantoms.
The Knights ensured there would be no repeat the following day as they ran out 4-2 winners against the Phantoms in the return fixture.
The other Group A double-header between Hull Seahawks and Bees IHC saw the former win home and away to keep their Final Four chances alive.
The Seahawks sit two points adrift of the Phantoms, with the pair set to meet later this week in the final round of play-off group stage fixtures.
In Group B, all four teams remain in with a chance of qualifying after a mixed bag of results.
Telford Tigers won 6-3 at MK Lightning on Saturday and had the opportunity to move a step closer to the Finals Weekend the following day, only to lose the return game 4-1.
Having won both of their opening play-off fixtures, Swindon Wildcats hoped to secure their Final Four qualification with a double-header against seventh-seeded Raiders IHC.
However, it would be the Romford-based side that kept themselves in the mix after a regular-time 3-2 victory at the Link Centre on Saturday and shoot-out triumph on Sunday.
Three points now separate all four teams in Group B, with everything still to be decided as the play-off group stages come to an end this coming weekend.
