There’s a full schedule of games across the Elite League on Saturday night, with all five games starting at 7pm.
In Belfast, the Giants welcome Glasgow Clan as part of a home-and-home series between the teams this weekend. The Giants have not made the start to the Challenge Cup they would have hoped for, although two wins over the Clan would boost their Group B position. If either side can pick up at least three points this weekend, it would give them the advantage over the other in the group.
Also in Group B, Fife Flyers host Dundee Stars ahead of the reverse fixture on Sunday. The Flyers have just one win this season, away to the Stars, but are still searching for a first home victory. Dundee have made an excellent start and lead the group with only one defeat in five games.
In England, all three games take place in the Manchester–Nottingham–Sheffield triangle.
Nottingham Panthers are at home to Guildford Flames, who they defeated 6-1 midweek in Surrey. The Flames won the other Cup meeting between the teams. Defeat for either side here would leave them with just two points from half of their group games played, making a top-three finish much harder.
Sheffield Steelers host Coventry Blaze in a meeting of two teams who have both started strongly. The sides are separated by a single point, each with three wins from their opening four games.
Finally, Manchester Storm host Cardiff Devils in a reverse of Friday night’s fixture.
