Saturday night in Week 22 of the 2025/26 Elite Ice Hockey League season has four games on the schedule.
League leaders Belfast Giants face basement side Fife Flyers from 7pm at the SSE Arena. The Giants picked up three points out of four last weekend, while Fife were beaten heavily in both of their games.
In Scotland, Dundee Stars host Glasgow Clan in a game that the hosts cannot afford to lose. The gap between the teams is 13 points in the race for the final playoff place, and the Stars have just 21 games left to make up that points differential.
Manchester Storm host Sheffield Steelers in a repeat fixture of last Saturday. That night, the Storm won in a shootout but let a lead slip the following night in Coventry before losing in Dundee midweek. In both games they still picked up a point. Sheffield thrashed Fife on Sunday to make it a three-point weekend last time out.
Nottingham Panthers are back on home ice after a shootout win in Glasgow on Friday night as they welcome Midlands rivals Coventry Blaze. The visitors were four minutes away from defeat last Sunday against Manchester before a two-goal comeback and overtime winner saw them take the two points. The Panthers are three points off top spot having played a game more.
