We are going to need lots of fitness, energy and enthusiasm in Nottingham. I would include Traversa for his workrate in closing down panthers players on the puck. If some players are carrying injuries as they say , it maybe prudent to rest one of those and put Thommaso in.
We will need to quieten the panthers fans. Both of them.

Win in regulation. It could be a tight game but I think we'll have taken confidence from last Sat and know we're still in with a chance of the league if we can continue that form.

I agree Traversa doesn't bring great skill and goal threat but he does bring energy and passion. Maybe scratch Sointu for Traversa as with Vally back in the line up and Dowd back to some form we shouldn't be so desperate for scrappy goals.

Nottingham don’t have much to play for, all they want is to find a bit of form for playoff hockey.

We name 20 on the game sheet meaning another late healthy scratch.

We are without Brust, Graham, Connolly, Todd, Shudra & Mosey.

As my post indicates, someone who is not 100%. Personally I don't have the information as to who is and who isn't . Sorry.
