It's another huge gameday as Nottingham Panthers host Manchester Storm at the Motorpoint Arena in the Elite League (7:30pm face-off).

Both sides go into tonight's action on the back of impressive wins at the weekend.
Led by a 36-shot shutout by Jason Grande, Panthers won 3-0 on the road at Glasgow Clan with Sam Herr, Tim Doherty and Mitch Fossier all on target.
The Storm beat Cardiff Devils 6-0 in Altrincham with Gianluca Estevez netting twice and Zack Milton scoring his first professional goal.
Not only is tonight's action important at the top of the table for the Panthers, Manchester are battling for the final playoff spot and sit just four points behind eighth-placed Dundee Stars.
