In the conference standings, Storm have now moved seven points ahead of Guildford, who have also played five games fewer. Equal on points with the Flames are Milton Keynes, while Coventry are a single point behind the Flames and the Lightning, and eight points behind the Storm but they have three games in hand. The Blaze are in fight for the final playoff spots, along with Braehead, Dundee, and Milton Keynes. Coventry are currently four points behind eighth-placed Braehead, with a single game in-hand.

The Blaze and Storm have faced each other five times in the league this season, with four of those games taking place in Coventry. Manchester currently lead the head-to-head 3-2, however Coventry won the sole game in Planet Ice Altrincham shutting out the Storm 5-0. Matt Beca and Mike Hammond have top scored against the Blaze, with 9 and 8 points, respectively. Both players have scored twice, while Luke Moffatt has scored 3 against the Blaze.
