New signing Shaun Sutter will take to the ice with the Belfast Giants this weekend. Sutter, who has played with both Sheffield and Nottingham, will be under pressure to help turn around a struggling Giants team who have lost 7 of 9 this season.
After dislocating his thumb last weekend, Trever Johnson will be fit to play in what is the Giants first ever regular season game in Dundalk.
With under-fire coach Ed Courtenay has threatening further changes, Giants fans will be hoping for a revival in fortunes against the Hull Stingrays who currently sit one place above Belfast in the table.
The games faces off at 7pm in the Dundalk Ice Dome.
