GAMEDAY PREVIEW WITH PANTHERS AT MANCHESTER

The Nottingham Panthers are on-the-road in Altrincham this afternoon to face Manchester Storm in the Elite League.

The match faces-off at the earlier than usual time of 4:45pm to avoid a clash with England's World Cup quarter-final with France.

Head Coach, Corey Neilson, said: "Things just happen so much faster in a rink like Manchester.

"If you don't think quickly and make a mistake, you can quickly be on the wrong side of things. We have to be wary of that.

"We have to think what we are during in the neutral zone, get it in behind their defence and protect our goalie as much as we can."

Team News in association with Evolve Injury Clinic
The Panthers will be without defencemen Duggie Lagrone and Craig Moore because of injury (both week-to-week).

Defenceman Mike Caruso is also an injury doubt for the weekend, while youngsters Archie Hazeldine and Jack Hopkins are on international duty with Great Britain Under-20s.

Sixteen-year-old defenceman Archie Salisbury will ice for the Panthers this week on loan from Peterborough Phantoms.
