Jason Grande and Jakob Stridsberg were the healthy scratches.&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Early No\u00ebl goal gives Panthers advantage <\/strong><br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nAfter Chase Pearson and Tim Doherty had early chances, David No\u00ebl fired through traffic from right-point to put Panthers ahead (03:04).&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>Ross Armour hit the pipes on a Panthers first-period powerplay and Doherty went close as the session came to a close.&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>Carr turned away all nine Steelers shots in the opening frame, including great saves to deny Mikko Juusola, Robert Dowd and Mitchell Balmas.&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Steelers level in dominant second session <\/strong><br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nThe hosts dominated the second period and Carr made top-class saves to deny Dowd, Ryan Tait, Sam Tremblay, Cole Shudra and Stephen Harper.&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>At the other end, Steelers netminder Matt Greenfield stopped powerplay attempts by Doherty and No\u00ebl.&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>Sheffield broke clear with an odd-man rush and Dowd&#8217;s clever backhand pass found Evan Jasper to equalise (38:09).&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Late No\u00ebl goal sends game to overtime<\/strong><br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nJarod Hilderman and Matt Spencer combined to send Curran clear left-hand side and he beat his man before pulling a move to slot the puck under Greenfield (42:11).&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>Sheffield turned the game on its head with two goals in 36 seconds as Tremblay went top-shelf from the slot (48:00), before Juusola pounced first to a rebound on the doorstep (48:36).&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>Pearson and Nolan Volcan set-up No\u00ebl to fire a bullet past Greenfield to equalise with just under three minutes remaining (56:53).&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dowd scores overtime winner for Steelers <\/strong><br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nThe two big rivals couldn&#8217;t be separated in regulation-time for the third game in succession, but it was the hosts who won it in overtime.&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>Robert Dowd found space on the left and fired across Carr for the game-winner (61:12).&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Four home games in nine days<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u200b<\/strong>Panthers and Steelers meet again in Nottingham tomorrow (Saturday 27th December) at 19:00, while Coventry Blaze are the visitors on New Year&#8217;s Eve (Wednesday 31st December) at 16:00.&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>Both these games are sold-out but there&#8217;s two more chances to watch the Panthers soon, although you need to hurry as these games are selling fast.&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>Panthers host Guildford Flames at the Motorpoint Arena on Saturday 3rd January (19:00) and Glasgow Clan on Sunday 4th January (17:00).
