The Panthers travel to Scotland today for part one of back-to-back Elite League matches against Dundee Stars with part two in Nottingham tomorrow (Sunday).
Danny Stewart's side go into tonight's game on the back of Wednesday night's 4-0 victory in Kirkcaldy against Fife Flyers to make it five points out of a possible six to start the 2025-26 league campaign.
This is Dundee's first home match of the Elite League season after defeats on the road earlier this month to Sheffield Steelers (6-1) and Manchester Storm (4-3).
Despite the two league defeats, the Stars have plenty to be cheerful about and have made a strong start in the Challenge Cup group stages.
They currently sit second in Group B with 11 points from eight matches and in a good position to qualify for the knockout phase.
The Stars are led by Marc LeFebvre who first coached in Dundee between 2015 and 2017.
After spells in Denmark and France, the 43-year-old returned in 2023 to take up the role of Head Coach and Director of Hockey Operations

Head Coach, Danny Stewart, said: "Dundee are a good team. They play heavy, have some good size and will be tough to play against.
"They have beaten Belfast three times already and have had some good results up and down the league.
"We know there are no easy nights and we have to be switched on right from the start."
