The biggest match of the night takes place in Dundee, with the Stars hosting Glasgow Clan in a crucial Challenge Cup tie. The stakes couldn’t be higher: the loser is eliminated from the competition if the defeat is within the rules. Should the match go to extra time, the final score will depend on Dundee’s trip to Belfast on Sunday. A regular win for both teams will at least secure a place in the Elimination Game, and could still keep alive the hopes of winning the group outright to go straight to the semi-finals.
In league play, Fife Flyers welcome the Nottingham Panthers to Kirkcaldy, buoyed by taking their first league point of the season in an extra-time defeat to Sheffield last weekend, a match in which they arguably deserved even more for their efforts.
Meanwhile, Manchester Storm return to the Shelter to host Coventry Blaze after their trip to Nottingham on Friday evening. The Blaze head into the weekend on a high after a home win over Guildford in midweek lifted them up to seventh in the standings.
