Blaze eventually hit their stride and levelled the contest at 8.52 through Shea Guthrie before the same player edged them ahead on a powerplay at 13.42.
There was no change to the scoreline after a tight second period but Coventry killed off the game in the third thanks to a strike from Greg Owen and a double from Matic Kralj.
