It's gameday for Nottingham Panthers with a road trip to Altrincham to face Manchester Storm in the Elite League (19:00 face-off).
Eight points separate the two sides in the standings as fourth-placed Panthers play fifth-placed Manchester at the Storm Shelter.
Manchester are very strong on their own ice having secured 29 of their 46 league points at home from 19 games and beat Glasgow Clan 3-2 last Saturday night after a shootout.
Panthers have already won twice in Altricham this season as Bryan Lemos, Matt Marcinew and Mitch Fossier were on target a 3-1 victory in the Challenge Cup back in September.
Didrik Henbrant, Tim Doherty and Matt Alfaro scored in a 3-0 win in the Elite League in mid-December, with Jason Grande securing a 38-shot shutout.
Panthers go into the game on the back of two huge victories as the 5-3 victory over Belfast Giants in the league last Sunday was followed by a 3-0 shutout of Sheffield Steelers in Wednesday's Challenge Cup semi-final first leg in Nottingham.

Panthers Head Coach, Danny Stewart, said: "Manchester are a strong side and their home form is very impressive.
"They make it very hard for you in there. They play to their strengths and are having a very good season.
