GAMEDAY IN NOTTINGHAM AS PANTHERS HOST FLYERS

🎟 SUNDAY: PANTHERS v FIFE (6PM) - BUY TICKETS HERE 🎟

The Nottingham Panthers host Fife Flyers in the Viaplay Elite League at the Motorpoint Arena this evening.

It's the second meeting between the two sides in less than 24 hours after Panthers skated to a 4-1 victory in Kirkcaldy last night, with Brett Welychka, Mike Hammond, Adam Brady and David Levin all on target.

Head Coach, Corey Neilson, said: "Energy in back-to-backs is so crucially important, so the fans can play a big role.

"It's our job to show them the passion and energy that we can bring.

"It's great (in Nottingham) that fans and players take an active role in creating energy in the arena and that's when it becomes really fun."

Today's game faces-off at the later than usual time of 6pm, but doors open at 2pm ahead of football's World Cup final.

The biggest game in international football - which kicks-off at 3pm - will be shown live on the jumbotron at centre-ice and the arena concession stands will be open for you to buy food and drink.

Team News
The Panthers are still without injured defencemen Duggie Lagrone and Craig Moore (both week-to-week).

Youngsters Archie Hazeldine and Jack Hopkins, who won a silver medal with Great Britain at the Men's U20 World Championship Division II Group A in Lithuania yesterday, should return to the line-up.
