It’s been quite the week as Manchester Storm have accumulated the miles, going from Scotland to Wales and back to England, but that lengthy road trip is at an end. Almost.

There’s another three-game week on the immediate horizon for fans to look forward, but when you consider there are two home fixtures at the end of it, it’s going to worthwhile.

Let’s find out more about what’s to come over the next seven days.

Wednesday 7th October

Dundee Stars vs Manchester Storm

Dundee Ice Arena, 7:30pm

It’s one more road trip as that four-game run comes to end, finishing in Dundee where the Stars prepare to welcome Cameron Critchlow’s side for the first time this season.

Storm won four of the six meetings between the teams last season, although Manchester claimed full points on Tayside in one of their three contests, they did take a solitary one in the other two.

But a new season presents new challenges and Storm would certainly love to claim another win in Scotland.

Don’t forget, this game will be shown live on Premier Sports 1 on Wednesday with coverage starting from 7:15pm.

Manchester Storm vs Nottingham Panthers

AO Arena, 7:30pm

What a weekend coming up for the Storm as not one, but two home games are on the calendar with this, of course, re-scheduled from last month.

Nottingham Panthers will be back in the AO Arena as both teams look for Challenge Cup points as the standings really start to take shape.

Danny Stewart’s side have come out on top in both meetings so far this season, but it’s a chance for Storm to add to their previous two wins in their new/old home.

Please note - this game is a 7:30pm face off, instead of the usual 7:00pm on a Saturday.  Also, look out for discounted tickets, courtesy of our friends at Dizzyfish.  Check them out on the ticket link below.

Sunday 11th October

Manchester Storm vs Sheffield Steelers

AO Arena, 4:00pm

They were our first opponents when we came home last month as while that was under the auspices of a pre-season game, it will be a very different occasion this time.

Sheffield Steelers will only have only thing on their mind - Challenge Cup points - as both teams renew acquaintances in what will be an entertaining Sunday contest.

Can Manchester close out the weekend with victory with their own cup aspirations intact?  You’ll have to come along and find out.
