Full crowds will be back in the Braehead Arena and Dundee Ice Arena this evening for the first time since before Christmas when the Glasgow Clan and Dundee Stars hit the ice on Saturday night.

All three of the Premier Sports Elite League's Scottish teams were restricted to playing in front of just 200 spectators due to COVID-19 regulations in Scotland, but these have now been lifted!

1900 Dundee Stars vs. Manchester Storm (Tickets | Webcast)
Dundee welcome Manchester to Tayside for the final time in the regular season in what has shaped up to be a very important game for both teams.

The teams are separated by a point either side of the playoff qualification line, but with Storm having played three more games the advantage rests with the Stars heading into the final half of the season. Dundee have two home wins against the Storm so far this season.

Storm are looking for a way out of their seven-game losing streak in a building where they've not won since March 2019. Dundee have four wins from their last six games, including over both Nottingham and Sheffield.

1900 Glasgow Clan vs. Guildford Flames (Tickets | Webcast)
It's an important midtable battle tonight in Braehead with Glasgow hosting Guildford. 

Clan, in sixth, trail the Flames by a point but have played some five games fewer.  Their four-game winning run came to an end midweek in Sheffield, but Malcolm Cameron's side continue to play .500 hockey through 23 games

Guildford meanwhile were beaten in a shootout in Coventry on Friday night, but after ending a long winless streak the Flames have picked up five points from their last four games. The Flames have collected just eight points from 13 road games this season, but Glasgow is historically a place they do well in - their December loss was the first in the Clan's building since March 2019.
