In Sunday action, both Dundee Stars and Manchester Storm are on home ice as they go in search of their first Challenge cup points of the season.
Dundee face Fife at 5pm, less than 24 hours after blowing a three-goal lead on the road against the Flyers. Marc LeFebvre's team have yet to pick up any points in Group A so far, and have only one win to their name in the league to date as well. Fife can take control of the race for second in the group with a victory in their rivals' backyard, with Belfast unbeaten at the top.

Starting 30 minutes later in Altrincham, current league leaders Manchester Storm are looking to get off the mark in the cup when they host Nottingham Panthers. It was the Panthers who took the cup points when these sides met on opening weekend thanks to three goals in the opening five minutes. Storm haven't lost in regulation since that game, while the Panthers have won two in a row since last weekend's heavy home defeat to Sheffield.
