Adam Keefe will be looking for a repeat performance from his side that thrashed Clan 7-1 on Tuesday night in Glasgow. While the league title may ultimately come down to the Giants' three games left against Sheffield, they won't want to give the Steelers any advantage ahead of next weekend's double-header in Yorkshire.

Glasgow find themselves among a bunch of four teams separated by just two points from fifth to eighth. Clan were a .500 team for most of the season but have now fallen to 43 points from 47 games. While likely to make the playoffs, Malcolm Cameron's team have seven games left including tonight to try and secure as higher seeding as possible.

The Giants boast three of the league's to points scorers in their lineup. The line of JJ Piccinich, Scott Conway and David Goodwin have combined for 195 points in league play this season. The Giants could also become the first team to hit 200 goals in 2021/22, requiring just three to do so.

Mathieu Roy continues to lead Clan for goals with 27 in 46 games played, but now has Colton Yellow Horn joining him on 50 points for the season. 

Clan have not won in Belfast since March 2018 - a run of 13 straight wins on home ice for the Giants.
