Just three points separate the top four sides in NIHL South 1 following some eye-catching results over the weekend.
Bracknell Bees had two home games, thrashing leaders Peterborough Phantoms 8-2 on Saturday night before suffering a 6-2 reverse against Basingstoke Bison the following night.
Elsewhere Swindon Wildcats picked up two victories, which leaves Bracknell fourth in the table on 43 points with Basingstoke on 44, Swindon on 45 and Phantoms leading on 46 having played fewer games than the rest.
Bees raced into a 4-0 lead against Peterborough in the first period with Tyler VanKleef scoring twice while Harvey Stead and Zack Milton also found the net.
Josh Smith made it 5-0 before the Phantoms pulled one back, however further goals from Ryan Sutton, Smith and Stuart Mogg saw the hosts run out comfortable 8-2 winners.

But the tables were turned on Sunday as Bees fell behind against rivals Basingstoke and never recovered.
Having lost an ill-tempered affair in the reverse fixture last weekend, Bracknell were already 5-0 down before they found the net through Milton on the powerplay.
James Galazzi also scored for the hosts, but could not prevent the 6-2 defeat.
