πΊ WEBCAST: WATCH THE GAME ON OUR LIVE STREAM πΊ
Nottingham Panthers host Coventry Blaze this evening in front of another packed-house at the Motorpoint Arena (7pm face-off).
The game - which is sponsored by Lincs Air Testing - is part one of back-to-back matches this weekend, with the two sides also going head-to-head at the Skydome Arena tomorrow.
There's just a handful of tickets remaining for the clash with our Midlands rivals tonight and the best availability is currently in Block 1 and Block 2 which is now a mixed block for home and away supporters.
The last time the Blaze were in town, Panthers edged a tight game 2-1 to secure two vital league points.
Zach Heintz gave the visitors the lead in the first period, before Panthers scored twice in the final five minutes of the game through Otto Nieminen and Cooper Zech.
