Nottingham Panthers host Elite League leaders Cardiff Devils at the Motorpoint Arena this afternoon (4pm face-off).
It's the third visit to Lower Parliament Street for competitive action for the Devils this season with Panthers winning both previous encounters.
Sam Herr scored twice and Tim Doherty was also on target in a 3-2 victory in the Challenge Cup in mid-October and Didrik Henbrant netted a hat-trick in a 3-1 success in the league last month.

Family Tickets are available which offer reduced admission prices compared to a normal ticket. These can be purchased in Block 8 and Block 12.
Head Coach, Danny Stewart, said: "Cardiff are a very good side. They have not just been winning games, but winning games with big scores.
"They will come in here feeling good and will be bearing in mind that we have beaten them twice here already.
"I know we will be ready and we will have to be at our best without a doubt."

Panthers Vault up to £3,700 or gamble for the Mystery Box
The Panthers Vault - in association with Interseal Fire Protection - is now up to a remarkable £3,700. Tickets cost just £1 and if yours is drawn out of the hat, you go on the ice with DJ Ken Feast to try to win the money inside the vault in the second intermission. 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.
The contestant who goes rinkside won't be leaving empty-handed whether they crack the code or not, with two tickets for an arena show on offer at each home game. The tickets are kindly donated by the arena's main sponsor, Motorpoint. New from this season there's a twist. Dare you give up the chance to go for the money to open the Mystery Box? What's inside? Nobody knows!

Pucks cost £1 each and are on sale from sellers around the rink.
