🎟 CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS FOR PANTHERS HOME GAMES 🎟
Nottingham Panthers host Coventry Blaze on a huge Saturday night at the Motorpoint Arena in the Elite League (19:00 face-off).
There are very limited tickets left for tonight's game which is sponsored by Crowngate Construction and if you want to be part of the action you're urged to secure your seats online now.
Panthers secured a hard-fought 4-3 victory on the road at Glasgow Clan after a shootout last night as Danny Stewart's side came from behind three times with goals from David Noël, Nolan Volcan and Ollie Betteridge.
Mitch Fossier made a fairytale comeback from injury as he scored the only goal of the shootout, while Kevin Carr turned away all five of Glasgow's attempts.
Victory for the Panthers closed the gap on league leaders Belfast Giants to three points who have played one game fewer.
The Blaze arrive in Nottingham in red-hot form and have secured 22 points out of a possible 24 in their past 12 matches and staged a remarkable comeback to beat Manchester Storm at the Skydome Arena on Sunday.
Kevin Moore's side were 3-1 down going into the closing stages and twice lifted netminder Mat Robson for the extra skater with the six-on-five play working a treat with goals for Elijiah Barriga at 56:44 and 57:48.
Grant Mishmash won the game for Coventry on the powerplay just 56 seconds into overtime to secure a memorable two points.
View from the Bench
Head Coach, Danny Stewart, said: "They are one of the hardest-working teams in the league and they never give up.
"They handle ups and downs during games and whether they are up or down, they continue to play the right way.
"They have five or six guys scoring at the moment on a regular basis and they are getting contributions from their backend."
Team News in association with Candid Digital
Johnny Curran and Josh Tetlow are on international duty with GB so are unavailable, while Matt Marcinew misses out through injury.
Panthers have illness in the camp which meant Cooper Zech and Tim Doherty missed last night's game in Glasgow, so the full line-up will be named closer to face-off.
