After a mixed weekend of results, all eyes now turn to the next week and another couple of games to look ahead to for Cameron Critchlow and his men.

It’s another trip to Scotland to begin with before returning home and rounding off the weekend in front of our home supporters.

So let’s see what’s coming up this week for Manchester Storm.

 

Saturday 25th October

We’re Tayside bound for the first of the two games this weekend as Dundee Stars play host in what’s sure to be another interesting battle between the two sides.

Marc LeFebvre’s side will have been on midweek duty with a trip to Fife Flyers on Wednesday, but will be ready for the visit of the Storm in a contest which, if recent history is to be believed, will be another tight affair.

Storm won twice in three visits last season so will be hopeful of taking another two points in what’s been a good start to the league campaign.

 

DID YOU KNOW?

Of the 56 previous meetings between the two sides in this fixture since Manchester joined the Elite League in 2015, the away team have won only 16 of them.

 

 

Sunday 26th October

 

Manchester Storm vs Sheffield Steelers (The Storm Shelter, Face off 5:30pm)

TICKETS

WEBCAST

 

Sunday sees the conclusion of the Challenge Cup group as Sheffield Steelers fulfil the final fixture of this particular campaign at the Storm Shelter.

Storm fought back to claim a point from Aaron Fox’s side at the Utilita Arena last month after going 3-0 down then mounting a valiant comeback to take the game to overtime after levelling at 3-3 before Steelers finished the job in overtime.

You can bet it will be another full-blooded affair at the Storm Shelter with those points at stake to end another competitive weekend ahead.

 

DID YOU KNOW?

Stephen Johnson’s two goals this season both came in the previous meeting against the Steelers in September’s Challenge Cup clash.
