Six teams are in action as Week 15 closes with three games across Sunday.

1600 Nottingham Panthers vs. Guildford Flames

It's a dress rehearsal for Wednesday's Challenge Cup Quarter-Final First Leg in Nottingham, where the Flames visit tonight and then again midweek. 

The Panthers have had an excellent week so far with wins over Manchester and Coventry to take them to within a point of climbing above Glasgow and going into the top four. Guildford can, however, leapfrog the Panthers into fifth with a regulation victory themselves.

1700 Dundee Stars vs. Coventry Blaze

Following disappointing defeats yesterday, Dundee host Coventry with both sides really in need of getting a win.

The Stars can pull themselves back to within a point of the playoffs with a victory over the Blaze, but a loss would see them drop back to five points adrift. After a run of good results, Dundee have now lost three on the spin. 

Coventry have been on a worrying run of form that has seen the Blaze lose their last six games in all competitions with no win since 17 November. The team has dropped from the cusp of the top five to now being in danger of falling out of the playoff places altogether.

1730 Fife Flyers vs. Cardiff Devils

Both Fife and Cardiff are looking to end their weekend on a high following victories on Saturday night.

The Flyers got the all-important derby win in Dundee yesterday to keep themselves among a mix of teams in mid-table. Cardiff won in Glasgow to move three points behind Sheffield at the top, but the Devils do have the league's best points percentage by some distance.
