Sunday's Challenge Cup schedule sees Belfast Giants host Fife Flyers, while Nottingham Panthers welcome Guildford Flames.
Both games see teams continue in the Challenge Cup after last night.
Nottingham host Guildford from 16:00 in what will be the Panthers' first home game since their opening-night shootout win over Manchester. Their scheduled game in Manchester the following day was cancelled due to ice issues, before they returned to action on Saturday with a trip to Sheffield. The Panthers led 2-1 through 40 minutes before the Steelers tied the game in the third and went on to win 3-2 in overtime.
Guildford began their campaign with a 3-1 defeat in Cardiff before earning a point against Sheffield in a shootout after having led 3-0. They hosted Cardiff again on Saturday night and picked up their first win of the season with an impressive 5-1 victory at the Spectrum.
Belfast are on home ice for the second time inside 24 hours as they face Fife, completing a home double-header after Saturday's game against Dundee. The Giants went into the weekend with four points from four after wins in Dundee and Glasgow on the opening weekend, before thrashing the Stars 8-1 on Saturday night.
Fife took three points from their opening two games, recovering from a shootout defeat to Glasgow by beating Dundee 4-1 the following night. They faced Clan again on Saturday and this time came out on top, winning 4-3 in overtime through Joseph Piece's goal just 50 seconds into bonus hockey to keep them second in the group.
