GAMEDAY PREVIEW: PANTHERS v DEVILS
🎟 SUNDAY: PANTHERS v DEVILS - BUY TICKETS 🎟
The Nottingham Panthers host Cardiff Devils at the Motorpoint Arena in the Elite League this afternoon (4pm face-off).
It's the second meeting between the two sides in six weeks on Nottingham ice, with the Panthers skating to a 5-2 victory at the end of October.
The Devils come into the game on the back of last night's 4-2 win over Belfast Giants, while the Panthers were beaten on-the-road at Manchester Storm.
Head Coach, Corey Neilson, said: "Cardiff have a well-balanced roster and have been good for a number of years.
"We are certainly going to have to be at our best. A big key for us is not falling behind and having some confidence around the net.
"When you are scoring one goal a game it's tough to win, so we have to find that offensive chemistry.
Team News
The Panthers will be without defencemen Duggie Lagrone and Craig Moore (week-to-week) because of injury, as well as Mike Caruso (day-to-day).
