GAMEDAY PREVIEW AS PANTHERS TRAVEL TO SHEFFIELD

It's gameday with The Nottingham Panthers on-the-road this evening against Sheffield Steelers in the Challenge Cup (7pm face-off).

The Steelers, who currently lead Group C on 11 points, have already qualified for the knockout stages.

Panthers are in second with six points from six matches, with Manchester Storm in third with four points from six matches.

Panthers Head Coach, Gary Graham, said: "This weekend will be a good challenge for us.

"We took care of business on Wednesday. We played well and knew what we had to do to get the points.

"Now we have a good challenge against Sheffield and at home against Cardiff on Sunday.

"For us, we've been playing better as of late and it's a good time for us to accept this challenge."
