WEEK AHEAD – Tickled Pink
It’s on to the next games and looking forward as Manchester Storm turn their attentions to what’s to come on the calendar.
The first of two meetings with Guildford in the space of a week and a return visit to Kirkcaldy are what you can expect as the road to the play-offs continue.
Let’s take a closer look at what the next seven days holds.
Saturday 21st March
Manchester Storm vs Guildford Flames (The Storm Shelter, Face off 7:00pm)
TICKETS
WEBCAST
The regular season is in its final month, and we’ve got three games against Guildford Flames to cram in, starting with this one coming up on Saturday.
All bar one game this season have been one-goal games so that should give an idea of what may lie ahead in the meetings to come.
It should also be pointed out that the home team in this fixture have won in nine of the last ten games between them. An omen? Who knows, but it’s going to fun waiting to find out.
It’s also our Pink the Rink night, in honour of Prevent Breast Cancer so a great night for an amazing cause lies ahead.
DID YOU KNOW?
There have been 15 players who have picked up at least a point against Guildford this season, with Gary Haden (2+3) and Stephen Johnson (5A) picking up five apiece.
Sunday 22nd March
Fife Flyers vs Manchester Storm (Fife Ice Arena, Face off 5:00pm)
TICKETS
WEBCAST
It’s back to Fife Ice Arena to complete the weekend and what will be a final visit to Scotland in the regular season as Storm board the bus again for Kirkcaldy.
After Sunday’s 4-2 victory there, Flyers will make sure a return visit so soon won’t be one to look forward to, but the objective remains the same.
Simply, go in, get the points, if possible then get out. Fife won’t make it easy as they look to end the season with some degree of pride. Hopefully not at Storm’s expense.
DID YOU KNOW?
Manchester Storm have scored at least four goals against Fife Flyers in each of their last nine meetings.
