It's gameday for the Nottingham Panthers and a roadtrip to the Skydome to face Coventry Blaze in the Challenge Cup (17:30 face-off).
Panthers go into the game on the back of an 11-goal thriller on Saturday night which saw a pulsating 6-5 victory over Guildford Flames.
Chase Pearson scored hat-trick, Mitch Fossier netted twice and there was also a goal for Cooper Zech.
Coventry Blaze won 2-0 on the road at Sheffield Steelers thanks to goals by Archie Hazeldine and Kim Tallberg, while netminder Mat Robson secured a 40-shot shutout.
Nottingham and Coventry met in pre-season with Panthers skating to a 4-1 victory at the Motorpoint Arena last month.
View from the Bench
Head Coach, Danny Stewart, said: "To be successful in Coventry we need a lot of the same principles that saw us do well in Guildford on Wednesday.
"It's a smaller rink and we have to play the right way. We have to be aware of perhaps some crazy bounces in a smaller rink.
"Having the discipline to play the right for 60 minutes is key in that barn."
