Less than a fortnight after their first trip to the Skydome of the season, Nottingham Panthers will be back in Coventry facing the BLaze this Wednesday evening.

That game saw just one goal over 60 minutes to give the Panthers a road win - both of the meetings between these teams so far have gone the way of the visiting side.

While the Panthers were beaten at home to rivals Sheffield last Saturday, they came away from Guildford with two points, meaning they won both of their previous two road games in the league. Mark Matheson's team remain fourth, 17 points off the top three but. more importantly, with a six-point cushion above the teams below them - although they have played some three games more.

Coventry gave up two-goal leads in both of their games last weekend, eventually going down to a 3-2 home defeat to Belfast, and a 5-3 road loss in Sheffield. Coupled with results elsewhere, Danny Stewart's side slipped back to eighth overall, although they have at least two games in hand on the teams above them.

The Blaze have lost five of their past seven games, but have gradually regained a near-full lineup. New signing Brayden Brown goes straight into the lineup for tonight's game.
