GAMEDAY PREVIEW: PANTHERS HOST DUNDEE
🎟 TONIGHT: PANTHERS v STARS - BUY TICKETS HERE 🎟
The Nottingham Panthers host Dundee Stars at the Motorpoint Arena in the Viaplay Elite League this evening (7:30pm face-off).
The match - sponsored by Nottingham Professional Services in support of Guide Dogs UK - is the third and final regular-season meeting between the two sides with Panthers winning both matches so far.
A 6-2 victory at the end of September saw Jeremy Welsh score twice, as well as goals for Adam Brady, Brett Welychka, Tanner Sorenson and Craig Puffer, while Fabrizio Ricci was on target for Dundee.
Last month, Panthers skated to a 4-2 win with goals from David Levin, JC Brassard, Jakub Izacky and Matthew Myers.
Team News in association with Evolve Injury Clinic
Forward Luke Ferrara skated again this week but won't be risked tonight as he bids to regain full fitness ahead of the playoffs.
Panthers have no other injury worries and will scratch two imports ahead of face-off.
European Cup in the foyer as part of Nottingham sport celebration
As part of the Renewal Trust's partnership with the Panthers, representatives from Nottingham Forest Community Trust, Notts County Foundation and Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club will be in the foyer as part of the Sport in the Community Initiative. There'll also be one of the city's most special pieces of sporting history on show and it means supporters have a unique chance to have a photograph with the European Cup.
Panthers Vault now £400 plus a mystery bonus prize
The Panthers Vault has now moved up to £400 plus a mystery bonus prize. If your ticket is drawn out of the hat, you go rinkside with DJ Ken Feast to try and win the money inside the vault. Choose one of the players from the Panthers roster shown on the jumbotron to reveal a four-digit code and see if it unlocks the vault.
Chances to win in the Fifty50, Chuck-a-Puck and Shirt Raffle
Tickets for the Shirt Off His Back raffle will be on sale in the foyer and around the concourse for £1 per entry. The winner gets to choose which shirt they want and it's presented to them straight off the player's back on the ice after the game.
Tickets for the Fifty50 raffle - in association with Temple Printing - are sold for £1 each. The lucky winner will go home with a fantastic cash prize.
If you aren't successful in either prize draw, please make sure you keep your tickets. All tickets are put back into the hat for the second-prize draw and the winner will be announced on our social media channels and website within the next couple of days.
In tonight's Chuck-a-Puck, you have a chance to win a VR Escape Room experience for four people if you land your puck closest to Paws at centre-ice. Chuck-a-Pucks can be purchased in the foyer for £1 each, but there are also some very special offers where you can get yourself a bag of pucks. There's three for £2, eight for £5 and 20 for £10. Chuck-a-Puck takes place at the start of the second intermission
