ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW: PANTHERS v STARS TODAY

🎟 THIS AFTERNOON (4PM): PANTHERS v DUNDEE - BUY TICKETS HERE 🎟

Nottingham Panthers host Dundee Stars at the Motorpoint Point in the Elite League this afternoon (4pm face-off).

Panthers go into the game on the back of last night's superb 4-2 victory on the road at Sheffield Steelers.

The game is sponsored by Burton Joinery and it's also our Teddy Bear Toss which is always a highlight of the season.

Please wrap teddies in a clear plastic bag and throw onto the ice when Panthers score their first goal or at the end of the first period.

You can buy tickets for the game in-person ahead of face-off from the Box Office or click here to buy tickets now.

Family Tickets are available which offer reduced admission prices compared to a normal ticket. These can be purchased in Block 8 and Block 12.

Assistant Coach, Linton Grant, said: "Dundee are showing they can go with the best of them.

"This isn't a night where you can just switch off after playing Sheffield. They are a dangerous team.

"If we continue to play like we did have been doing, we can build some momentum and get on a roll."
