Belfast Giants went top of the Viaplay Elite League midweek, and now their challenge is to try and stay there over their final 14 games of the regular season.
They host in-form Glasgow Clan on Saturday night before welcoming Nottingham on Sunday. Clan currently sit in the last playoff place and have won six of their last 10 games - including three straight away from home. In league play, Belfast have not been beaten at the SSE Arena in regulation since 4 December and have won all meetings between the teams this season.

It's a big game at the Storm Shelter with Manchester hosting Dundee as both teams try and make sure they finish the regular season in a playoff place. Seventh-placed Storm are now only two points clear in a playoff position although do have a number of games in hand on the teams immediately below them. Dundee are five points adrift of Glasgow although have played some five fewer games than Clan.
