The Devils had four goals from Scott Anderson, two goals from Colton Poulin, while Brett Dominus added a goal and four helpers.
The other game this week went Thursday in Quesnel where the hometown Crossfire did their best Toronto Maple Leafs impression and blew a two-period lead as the Twisted Cork/Regional Security Stylers scored four goals in the third period for a 12-11 win.
