Tessier is in his second spell with the club

Nottingham Panthers will be at full-strength against Edinburgh Capitals on Saturday as Canadian centre Dan Tessier's visa has been approved.

The 29-year-old returns to the club where he spent part of the 2005/06 season, and joins Jade Galbraith in receiving international clearance.

Tessier told BBC Radio Nottingham: "I'm very excited to be coming back to play in Nottingham.

"It could be my last year, but I know it's gonna be a lot of fun."

Tessier and Galbraith will make their debuts as Panthers face Edinburgh on Saturday at the National Ice Centre (1900 BST), and then travel to Manchester on Sunday (1730 BST).
