It's a Sunday road trip for the Nottingham Panthers with a visit to Altrincham to face Manchester Storm (5:30pm face-off).
Panthers go into the game on the back of Friday's 7-4 victory at home to Guildford Flames, which saw Cooper Zech score twice and there was a goal each for Sam Herr, Didrik Henbrant, Tim Doherty, Kristoff Kontos and Reid Stefanson.
Manchester were in action last night but were beaten 4-2 on the road at Sheffield Steelers, with Loren Ulett and Grant Hebert on target for the Storm.
The two sides last met in Altrincham back in mid-December with Panthers coming out on top with a 4-3 overtime victory.
Sam Herr, Hugo Roy and Didrik Henbrant scored in regulation time and the game-winner in the extra period came from Kontos.
Forward Tim Doherty said: "Manchester is a unique rink and they play well at home.
"At the end of the day, this is two points we have to get. Getting to the end of the season, all the points matter.
"But it doesn't matter where we are playing, we just have to show up and win."
