GAMEDAY PREVIEW: PANTHERS HOST SHEFFIELD
🎟 TONIGHT (7PM): PANTHERS v STEELERS - BUY TICKETS HERE 🎟
Nottingham Panthers host Sheffield Steelers in a massive game in the Elite League this evening at the Motorpoint Arena (7pm).
The game - which is sponsored by Lincs Air Testing - is all but a sell-out with a handful of single seats remaining in the bowl as of Saturday morning.
It's the biggest game of the season so far as we go head-to-head against our arch-rivals from just up the M1.
The passion on and off the ice is going to be huge and we can't wait to see you all at the Motorpoint Arena.
Assistant Coach, Linton Grant, said: "It is always a good time when you play Sheffield especially with the rivalry.
"It brings out the best of each fanbase and the boys will be buzzing for it.
"We have been talking about it in the locker-room and of course we would like the (losing) streak against them to come to an end.
"If we play like we did against Cardiff we will give ourselves a great chance."
