PANTHERS HOST STEELERS IN THE CUP TONIGHT

🎟 TONIGHT: PANTHERS v STEELERS (7PM) - BUY TICKETS 🎟

The Nottingham Panthers host Sheffield Steelers in the Challenge Cup at the Motorpoint Arena this evening (7pm face-off) - in a game sponsored by Nottingham City Council Parking Services.

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.

Panthers go into the game after back-to-back Elite League victories last weekend as a 2-1 overtime victory at home to Dundee Stars was followed by a 7-6 victory after penalty shots on-the-road at Glasgow Clan.

Assistant Coach, Kevin Moore, said: "We are working towards finding consistency and we know every game is important.

"We really want to show our identity and we didn't do that last time (against Steelers) - and this is an opportunity for us to do that."

An amazing £1,300 for the Panthers Vault and there's a winner every time
The Panthers Vault - in association with Motorpoint - has now reached £1,300. The contestant who goes rinkside with Ken Feast won't be leaving empty-handed whether they crack the code or not, with two tickets for an arena show on offer at each home game. The tickets are kindly donated by the arena's main sponsor, Motorpoint. Tickets cost £1 and if yours is drawn out of the hat, you go on the ice and try to win the money inside the vault. Choose one of the players from the Panthers roster shown on the jumbotron to reveal a four-digit code and see if it unlocks the vault.

Chuck-a-Puck is sponsored by Midlands Chauffeurs and the winner will be invited onto the ice at the end of the game for a photo with their favourite player and receive a signed puck, as well as a code for two free pizzas.

Tonight's Shirt Off His Back is Otto Nieminen and tickets will be on sale in the foyer and around the concourse for £1 each. The winner will receive his game-worn jersey and be invited onto the ice during the post-match presentations for a photo. The shirt will be signed and presented after the game.

Tickets for the Fifty50 raffle are sold for £1 each. The lucky winner will go home with a fantastic cash prize.

If you aren't successful in either the Shirt Off His Back or Fifty50, please make sure you keep your tickets. All tickets are put back into the hat for the second-prize draw and the winner will be announced on our social media channels and website within the next couple of days.
