PREVIEW: Ayrshire derby headlines Saturday action

After the success of the teams on the road last Saturday, only two games make up what is sure to be another busy night ahead.

Headlining the action is an Ayrshire derby as Kilmarnock Thunder play host to North Ayrshire Wild with both teams keen to get points on the board after both suffered defeat last weekend.

Thunder might fancy their chances of success in front of the Galleon Thunder after putting four on the board last week against Dundee Tigers, but know North Ayrshire Wild themselves are hurting after their 8-0 loss to Kirkcaldy.

An early goal could set the tone for this contest, but there could be a fascinating content in store as local bragging rights, as well as SNL points are up for grabs.

The night’s other game sees Aberdeen Lynx travel to Dundee Tigers for the second part of their Dundee double to start the new season.

It wasn’t their night when Dundee Comets travelled to Linx Ice Arena and took away the points in the opening content, winning 5-2.

But Aberdeen will want those points back when they take on the Tigers, fresh from their 8-4 in Kilmarnock last Saturday.

It could be goals galore on what could be an interesting night across both games, with more to come on Sunday.

SATURDAY FIXTURES:

Kilmarnock Thunder vs North Ayrshire Wild (5.30pm)
