🎟 TODAY: PANTHERS v BELFAST (7:30PM) - BUY TICKETS 🎟

It's gameday at the Motorpoint Arena as The Nottingham Panthers host Belfast Giants in the Viaplay Elite League (7:30pm face-off).

Panthers have won twice against the Giants on home ice, but Belfast skated to a 5-3 victory when the teams met last month in Nottingham.

Forward, Fabrizio Ricci, said: "It has been a good little break but obviously it always great to be back, especially now we're in the thick of the season.

"We've got two big games against the Giants and we owe them - and this first one at home will be a big one."

Team News
Panthers expect to be at full strength with new signing Niko Lahtinen set to make his debut.

Panthers Vault now up to £800
The Panthers Vault now stands at a fantastic £800 and tonight it's a special two-for-one with two entries for just £1. If your ticket is drawn out of the hat, you go rinkside with DJ Ken Feast to try and win the money inside the vault. 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.

Chances to win in the Fifty50, Shirt Off His Back and Chuck-a-Puck
Tickets for the Shirt Off His Back raffle will be on sale in the foyer and around the concourse for £1 per entry. There's two shirts tonight on offer - Alex Dubeau and new-boy Niko Lahtinen. Both will be presented on the ice after the game.

Tickets for the Fifty50 raffle - in association with Temple Printing - are sold for £1 each. The lucky winner will go home with a fantastic cash prize.

If you aren't successful in either prize draw, please make sure you keep your tickets. All tickets are put back into the hat for the second-prize draw and the winner will be announced on our social media channels and website within the next couple of days.

In today's Chuck-a-Puck, you could win a meal for two at Spotlight, plus a cocktail making class at The Alchemist if you land your puck closest to Paws at centre-ice. Chuck-a-Pucks can be purchased in the foyer for £1 each and there's a special offer of eight for £5. It takes place at the start of the second intermission.
