Two Challenge Cup games complete the weekend on Sunday, with important points on offer in both groups.
Belfast Giants welcome Dundee Stars to The O2 at 17:00 in the fourth meeting of the season between the sides.
The Giants sit top of Group B on 12 points from seven games after Friday night's 3-1 victory in Dundee. They are five points clear of second-placed Fife Flyers, although the Flyers have a game in hand. Glasgow Clan sit third on six points, while Dundee are fourth with three points from six games.
Belfast have won all three meetings with Dundee so far this season, including twice on Tayside. The Giants opened the season with a 4-1 win at Dundee Ice Arena before an 8-1 victory when the teams first met in Belfast. Friday night's 3-1 win extended their advantage at the top of the group.
Dundee's three points have come from a 3-2 overtime win against Fife Flyers and a point from a 4-3 overtime defeat to Glasgow Clan.
Guildford Flames and Nottingham Panthers meet at the Spectrum at 18:00 in a tightly-contested Group A.
Guildford have five points from five games, while Nottingham also moved onto five points from five games with Saturday night's 4-3 home victory over Coventry Blaze.
The Panthers' win on Saturday put them firmly back into the battle for progression. The teams have already met once in the competition this season, with Guildford taking the points in Nottingham.
