It's gameday for Nottingham Panthers with a trip to Wales to face Cardiff Devils in the Elite League (4pm face-off).

Panthers had a thrilling 2-1 victory over arch-rivals Sheffield Steelers after penalty-shots last night, which saw Robert Dowd put Sheffield ahead in the first period and Tim Doherty equalise in the third session.

Doherty, Kristoff Kontos and Cooper Zech netted in the shootout, while Panthers netminder Jason Grande turned away three of Sheffield's four attempts.

It was a night of drama for Cardiff too as Cole Sanford scored an overtime winner to secure a 4-3 victory at Coventry Blaze.

Panthers go into the game in third, three points behind leaders Belfast Giants, with Cardiff five points further back in fourth.
