PREVIEW: PANTHERS ON THE ROAD AGAINST MANCHESTER

🎟 TOMORROW (SUN 16TH MARCH) v FIFE FLYERS (4PM) - BUY TICKETS HERE 🎟

Nottingham Panthers take to the road today to face Manchester Storm in Altrincham in Elite League action (7pm face-off).

Panthers go into the game on the back of three points out of four last weekend.

Saturday's thrilling 2-1 victory over Sheffield Steelers after a shootout was followed by a narrow 1-0 overtime defeat on the road at Cardiff Devils.

Manchester were also in home action last night and scored three third-period powerplay goals to come from 3-1 down to skate to a 4-3 victory over Coventry Blaze.

The last meeting between the two sides in Altrincham saw Panthers ease to an impressive 4-0 victory.

Jason Grande secured a 27-shot shutout while there were two goals for Didrik Henbrant and one each for Tim Doherty and Jaakko Niskala.

Head Coach, Danny Stewart, said: "When you go to Manchester, there's less time out there and less space.

"You have to play it simple and guys have to buy into that, but we've been really good in that rink this season.

"I don't expect any different this weekend."
