League leaders Belfast Giants face Fife Flyers in the basement at the SSE Arena from 7pm. The Giants took three of the four points last weekend, while Fife were badly beaten in both games.
In Scotland, Dundee Stars host Glasgow Clan in a match the hosts cannot afford to lose. The difference between the teams is 13 points in the race for the final playoff spot, and the Stars have just 21 games remaining to make up that points difference.
Manchester Storm hosts Sheffield Steelers in a repeat match from last Saturday. That evening the Storm won in a shootout but let a lead slip away in Coventry the following evening before losing in Dundee in midweek. They still got a point in both games. Sheffield defeated Fife on Sunday to make it a three-point weekend last time out.
Nottingham Panthers are back on home ice on Friday evening after a shootout win in Glasgow as they welcome Midlands rivals Coventry Blaze. The visitors were four minutes away from defeat to Manchester last Sunday before a two-goal comeback and extra-time winner saw them take the two points. The Panthers are three points behind first place after playing a game more.
