Bumper Friday night EIHL schedule ahead

 

There’s a bumper four-game Friday night coming up in Week 12 of the 2025/26 Elite Ice Hockey League season.

League leaders Nottingham Panthers are home to Glasgow Clan on another important weekend at the top. The Panthers head into Sheffield on Saturday and come into Friday on a run of six straight league wins. Clan arrive at the Motorpoint Arena without a regulation loss since 25 October, their only defeats in that stretch coming in overtime.

Third-placed Cardiff Devils welcome Guildford Flames to the Vindico Arena for their first league meeting of the season after two earlier cup games. Cardiff sit one win off the top of the table and have taken five of the last six points on offer since returning from their Scottish road trip. Guildford’s run of six points from eight ended with Sunday’s home defeat to Belfast.

Belfast Giants, winners of three of their last four, travel to Dundee for league points after two earlier cup visits. The treble holders sit seven points off the top but hold games in hand. Dundee’s three-game winning streak ended with last weekend’s home defeat to Nottingham following a valuable road win in Coventry.

Manchester Storm host Fife Flyers for the third and final time this season at the Storm Shelter. Storm’s strong start has them fifth with 16 points from 13 games, and three wins in their last five. Fife remain without a league win so far and have taken just a single point from 14 league fixtures, with their losing run extended further by cup results.
