GAMEDAY PREVIEW AS PANTHERS HOST CLAN IN THE LEAGUE
🎟 PANTHERS v CLAN: CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS 🎟
The Nottingham Panthers return to Elite League action this evening with Glasgow Clan visiting the Motorpoint Arena (7:30pm face-off).
It's the second meeting in eight days between the two sides after Panthers came from 2-0 down to win 3-2 after penalty shots last Wednesday in Scotland.
Clan led at the first intermission thanks to goals by Gary Haden and Steve McParland, before Mike Hammond reduced the arrears late in session two and Craig Puffer's third-period goal sent the game to overtime.
After no goals in the extra perood, David Levin and Adam Brady scored in the shootout, while Panthers netminder Jack Berry saved four of Clan's five attempts.
Panthers Head Coach, Gary Graham, said: "Clan are short of bodies but they're playing extremely hard.
"They are going to come in desperate and we've got to be more desperate than them - it's plain and simple.
"It was great at the weekend to see us get going offensively and get the powerplay going, but we didn't play good defence or without the puck.
"Getting everything synced up is really important for us."
