OVER 5,000 IN THE ARENA FOR SATURDAY

🎟 SATURDAY: PANTHERS v GIANTS (7PM) - BUY TICKETS 🎟

They say Saturday night is Hockey Night in Nottingham and this weekend is no exception with a 5,000 plus crowd already earmarked for the visit of Belfast Giants.

The two sides go head-to-head at the Motorpoint Arena in the Viaplay Elite League (7pm face-off) for a third meeting in nine days.

Last weekend's double-header at the SSE Arena saw the Giants take game one and Panthers win the following night on penalty shots.

It's Belfast third visit to Nottingham this season and Panthers have come out on top on the two previous occasions.

Back in November, Adam Brady, David Levin, Luke Ferrara, Jordan Kelsall and Brett Welychka were on target in a 5-4 victory in the league.

Then in the first leg of the Challenge Cup quarter-final, Panthers came from 2-0 down to win 3-2 thanks to a double from Jeremy Welsh while Welcyhka was also on the scoresheet.

Panthers will be wearing special Pride jerseys on the night as part of the Elite League's Pride Week and these can be won in an online raffle.
