There are only two games on the schedule this Friday night, but here is what the archives tell us about 5 December in EIHL history.
Thirty EIHL games have been played on this date. Manchester, under a previous franchise, were shut out at home by Basingstoke during the league’s inaugural season in 2003. Clan’s first home game on 5 December came in 2012, a 5-2 win over Fife.
Home teams have won 17 of the 30 games played on this date. Five have gone beyond 60 minutes, and six have ended in shutouts.
Nottingham Panthers begin their Scottish triple-header in Glasgow and have reason to be confident. Across 35 league visits to Braehead Arena, the Panthers have recorded 24 wins, with Clan taking the points in the remaining 13. Both teams average more than three goals per game in this fixture.
Manchester Storm’s home record against Belfast shows nine wins from 24 EIHL meetings at the Storm Shelter. The Giants have taken the other 15.
