THE WEEK AHEAD: Foundations laid
After a single game weekend and something of a short break, it’s back to work for Glasgow Clan, sponsored by Aspray Glasgow West, ahead of what could be another crucial week.
Three points out of four against Coventry is great way to lay foundations for the final weeks of the season and the challenges will be every bit as difficult.
Before we do delve into what’s coming up, let’s get you up to speed with what’s been happening:
WEDNESDAY
Glasgow Clan vs Guildford Flames (Elite Ice Hockey League, face off 7:30pm)
There is some midweek action to look forward as Glasgow Clan play host to Challenge Cup Finalists Guildford Flames in this rearranged fixture.
Jason Morgan’s men are feeling good after Friday’s exploits against Coventry and they will hope the foundations are there to really take the season by the scruff of the neck and make a run of it.
Flames have yet to win in Glasgow and come into the game on the back of four straight losses so the scene is set for a potential cracker.
Tickets are going fast so if you’re thinking of making your way to Braehead Arena, don’t leave it too late.
SATURDAY
Glasgow Clan vs Nottingham Panthers (Elite Ice Hockey League, face off 7:00pm)
The second home game of the week sees Nottingham Panthers make their way north of the border and really keen to make a fight of it as the play-offs loom.
After eight straight losses, they’ve bounced back with four wins from their last six at the time of writing ahead of a Wednesday clash with Cardiff Devils.
But after winning against the Clan recently, the Panthers will fancy taking another couple of points, especially after recent successes against the other sides.
SUNDAY
Dundee Stars vs Glasgow Clan (Elite Ice Hockey League, face off 5:00pm)
The weekend ends with what will a tricky Tayside trek as Clan look for two big road points in which to end a busy seven days.
Stars have hit something of a skid coming into the new week, with a run of seven straight losses and only four victories in their last 15 outings.
A home win over the Clan would certainly give them a timely boost, but not if Jason Morgan and his side can do something about it first.
