It's a sold-out Motorpoint Arena this evening as Nottingham Panthers host Manchester Storm (19:00 face-off).

The game - which is sponsored by The Park Hospital - has two vital Elite League points on the line as Panthers look to close the gap on the top three in the standings.

Panthers are just a point behind third-placed Cardiff Devils with a game in hand and two points behind second-placed Sheffield Steelers with two games in hand.

The Steelers were beaten 3-1 on the road at Belfast last night as the Giants opened up an eight-point lead at the top of the table.

If you weren't lucky enough to get a ticket for tonight, you can follow the action on our Panthers TV webcast which can be purchased here.

There's also home action this Wednesday (4th March) as Dundee Stars visit the Motorpoint Arena and all tickets are only £12.

Tickets are selling fast for this one and you're urged to secure your seats asap to avoid disappointment.

View from the Bench
Head Coach, Danny Stewart, said: "We know how dangerous Manchester are and that was evident last week in their barn.

"We certainly have a point to prove against them but they will make it tough for us again.

"The Storm are having a good season and on their night have been a match for anyone."
