The Trade-Mart Dundee Stars are gearing up for an exciting weekend as they hit the road for a pivotal matchup against the Manchester Storm tonight. The Stars are determined to secure a victory that could help them climb back into seventh place in the Elite League standings.
Both Dundee and Glasgow Clan are currently tied with 33 points, but the Stars have played 38 games compared to Glasgow’s 35. Tonight, while Dundee battles in Altrincham, the Clan will face off against the Guildford Flames.
A positive outcome this weekend could see Dundee pull four points ahead of Glasgow, making tonight’s game in Manchester a critical starting point.
The Stars enter the game on a high note following an impressive 8-5 away victory against the Fife Flyers last weekend, bouncing back from a 2-1 home defeat to the Nottingham Panthers. Meanwhile, the Storm are looking to rebound after suffering 3-1 losses to both the Belfast Giants and Sheffield Steelers last week.
This evening marks the Stars’ second visit to the Storm Shelter this season; their last encounter in November ended in a 6-3 defeat. Since then, the teams have met once more, with Manchester narrowly winning 4-3 in Dundee.
Currently, the Storm sit eight points behind Dundee in ninth place but have three games in hand, making tonight’s match crucial for their playoff hopes.
Fans can catch the action as the puck drops at 7:30 PM in Manchester. Let’s go, Stars!
