Nottingham Panthers forward Zach O'Brien looks ahead to Saturday's big Challenge Cup encounter with Sheffield Steelers at the Motorpoint Arena.
It's a battle between the top two with Group A leaders Sheffield on 10 points from six matches and second-placed Panthers on nine points from seven games.
O'Brien talks about the excitement of facing our arch-rivals in Nottingham for the first time this season.
"It's going to be great," said O'Brien. "Sheffield are a good team and have a lot of offensive power and they had two wins at the weekend.
"I can't wait to see the crowd and it's obviously going to be a great battle and a good game."
Saturday's game is sponsored by Temprell Jewellers Nottingham.
O'Brien also reflects on last weekend's action which saw Panthers win 2-1 on the road at Manchester Storm in the Challenge Cup, before a 3-2 victory at home against Fife Flyers in the Motorpoint Elite League.

SeatSwap scheme launched for Steelers at home on Saturday
We launched our new SeatSwap scheme last week, a brand-new initiative giving season ticket holders the opportunity to receive something back when they are unable to attend selected home games and it's been activated for the game against the Steelers.
These tickets will become available on the ticket sale page as they are returned to the club, so it's worth checking throughout the week for availability.
Saturday will be a cracker - just make sure you snap-up one of the final remaining tickets.
