GAMEDAY PREVIEW: PANTHERS HOST DEVILS
🎟 TONIGHT: PANTHERS v DEVILS (7PM) - BUY TICKETS 🎟
The Nottingham Panthers welcome Cardiff Devils to the Motorpoint Arena in the Elite League this evening (7pm) - in a game sponsored by J Nine Hair.
You can buy your tickets online now for tonight's action and they're also available in-person at the Motorpoint Arena Box Office ahead of face-off.
Both sides go into the game on the back of victories last Sunday as Panthers came from behind to win 3-2 in Guildford and Cardiff skated to a 3-2 success at Sheffield.
Panthers Head Coach, Jonathan Paredes, said: "Cardiff will be a good test for us. We have done our scouting on them and they are a very good side.
"We want to put on a good performance for our fans tonight. Home and away our support has been superb and we want to show them what we can do.
"We need a strong start and if we are the hardest-working team on the ice then good things will come."
