Six Elite League teams are in pre-season action on Saturday night in what, for several, is the last weekend before competitive games begin.

In the Warrior Invitational Tournament, Glasgow Clan face the ICE HL's Red Bull Salzburg. Both teams will play again on Sunday, but who they face will be determined on the result on this game and the other Semi-Final.

Guildford Flames make their pre-season debut against Gothiques d'Amiens of France. They'll face the same opposition again on Sunday in what is the Flames only weekend of exhibition fixtures before the regular season.

In Manchester, the Storm are home for the second time in 24 hours but this time will face the DEL2's Lausitzer Füchse. The team from Weisswasser will face Nottingham Panthers on Sunday.

Cardiff Devils, in their third week of pre-season, face Sheffield Steelers who face domestic opposition this weekend for the final time before beginning their Champions Hockey League campaign. With that in mind, both games this weekend between the teams will be played under CHL rules regarding penalties.

In Kirkcaldy, Fife Flyers are home again but this time meet Université du Québec - Trois-Rivières. For the Canadians, it is their fourth game on their UK tour which ends on Sunday in Dundee.

Finally, the SSE Arena in Belfast will see Carleton University, who were beaten by the Giants on Friday night, play the University of Alberta who will face the hosts on Sunday.
