NEILSON BACK IN HIS HOME AS PANTHERS HOST STORM
🎟 PANTHERS v STORM - BUY TICKETS HERE 🎟
The Nottingham Panthers host Manchester Storm this afternoon at the Motorpoint Arena (4pm face-off) for Corey Neilson's first home match since his reappointment as Head Coach.
The Panthers come into the game on the back of a dramatic 3-2 penalty-shot defeat by Sheffield Steelers last night.
Nottingham were 2-0 down but Brett Welycka reduced the arrears and Kelly Summers scored with five seconds remaining to secure a point, before Steelers took the extra point in the shootout.
Manchester were beaten 5-1 at home by Fife Flyers with Scott Simmons scoring their only goal.
Team News
The Panthers will be without defenceman Craig Moore who is unavailable (week-to-week) after taking a puck to the face in last Friday's home game with Guildford,
Duggie Lagrone was injured in last night's penalty-shot defeat on-the-road at Sheffield Steelers, so Stephen Anderson returns to the line-up.

The winning puck is the one that lands closest to Paws at centre ice. Pucks cost £1 each from the foyer and Chuck-a-Puck takes place at the start of the second intermission.
Tickets for the Fifty50 raffle - in association with Temple Printing - are sold in the foyer and around the rink for £1 each. The lucky winner will go home with a fantastic cash prize.
The Shirt Off His Back raffle is also £1 and check out the sellers in the foyer and around the concourse. The winner gets to choose the shirt they want and the player will take it off their back and present it to them on the ice after the game.
If you aren't successful in either prize draw, please make sure you keep your tickets. All tickets from both draws are put back into the hat for the second-prize draw and the winner will be announced on our social media channels and website in the next couple of days.
