Nottingham Panthers coach Corey Neilson wants his side to put the past behind them against Coventry this weekend.

The two sides meet in the Challenge Cup on Sunday, with Panthers going into the game on the back of three defeats.

Neilson told BBC Radio Nottingham: "Things are always good when you are winning, but now we've had some obstacles in our path.

"It's now a case of doing the simple things right, working hard and doing what is takes to win."

Panthers lost their previous meeting against the Blaze 6-5 at the Skydome Arena last month.

Neilson added: "They're a good side, they're coached very well and they've got a skilled group of players.

"They're the team to beat in this league. We know that and we have to go out there and do the stuff to make us winners."
