It's a big night in the Viaplay Elite League with three games this Friday night!
Actino starts in 7pm in Belfast, where the Giants face Nottingham Panthers for the first of a weekend double-header. The Giants came back from two goals down, and three behind on aggregate, to knock the Panthers out of the Viaplay Challenge Cup Quarter-Finals earlier this month. Belfast have won 10 games straight since losing to the Panthers in the cup on 17 December, while the Panthers are aiming to end a four-game losing streak.

Half an hour later in Dundee, Coventry Blaze continue their Scottish double-header in Dundee 24 hours after beating Glasgow on Thursday night. The Stars are hoping to end a run of three straight losses, while the Blaze are three unbeaten as they look to cement fifth. Coventry have won all three meetings between the teams this season.

After a sellout crowd on New Year's Day, Manchester Storm are home to Sheffield Steelers again for what is expected to be a big Friday night crowd. The Storm could end the night in sixth with a win here and Nottingham loosing, while simultaneously derailing their trans-Pennine rivals' hopes in the league title race. Manchester have one win from their last three, while Sheffield bounced back from a defeat in Cardiff with a road win against Fife last weekend.
