THE WEEK AHEAD: Double Blaze on the horizon
Glasgow Clan, sponsored by Aspray Glasgow West, are getting back to business and ready for the next challenge ahead in what will be an unusual week.
As ever, there are two tough fixtures to negotiate, but with the weekend starting and ending on Friday night this week, having a full weekend to rest will be an undoubted bonus.
We’ll explain more shortly, but let’s check on what’s been happening in recent days:
WEDNESDAY
Coventry Blaze vs Glasgow Clan (Elite Ice Hockey League, face off 7:30pm)
This is an interesting one as you look ahead with both sides suffering a slide of form and keen to start turning things around with a much needed victory.
When you consider the Blaze are without a win in the Skydome in their last four and Clan have lost their last three on the road, something has to give ahead of this latest meeting.
It’s part one of a double header between the sides and something fascinating could be served up in the name of Elite League points.
FRIDAY
Glasgow Clan vs Coventry Blaze (Elite Ice Hockey League, face off 7:00pm)
It’s back to Glasgow to complete the double header and we’ll have to wait and see if there are any hangovers from the first game 48 hours before.
For Clan, victories at home have become a little rare recently while Blaze have not a bad record in Braehead Arena so another intriguing night lies in prospect.
Oh yeah, did we mention every game with the Blaze this season has gone beyond regulation time so far? Don’t be surprised if there’s extra drama too.
