NEWS: Morgan ready for different type of game with Storm

Aspray Glasgow West sponsored Glasgow Clan head coach Jason Morgan is expecting a different type of battle when his team take on Manchester Storm on Saturday.

Clan head to the Storm Shelter to face in-form Storm before returning home to meet Nottingham Panthers on Sunday (face off 5:00pm).

And Morgan remains encouraged by certain performances despite adversity as injuries continue to be a major issue in the team’s campaign.

“It’s a really important weekend ahead and Manchester are playing some really good hockey right now, after winning their last four games and playing on a smaller ice surface,” he said.

“It’s a tougher rink to play in as the bounces and the play happens much quicker and we need to be on our toes and ready to go from the opening puck drop.

“We’ve lost a lot of man games due to injury, which has been crazy, what we’ve had to overcome and still continue to battle.

“We’re only two points behind Coventry, four away from Manchester and seven away from Guildford in fourth place so it shows just how tight the league has been this season. Every point is crucial.

“For the players that have come back recently, their conditioning will get better the more they play and I thought the top line with Philippe Sanche, Mike Pelech and Gary Haden played well for us in Fife.

“I’m looking for a strong performance at the weekend and to keep chipping away.  We have 10 points from our last 14 so we have to make sure we get started on time and bring that play-off mindset for 60 minutes.”
