Robinson ready to face old club

Nottingham Panthers

Nottingham Panthers netminder Michel Robinson makes his first return to his former club Edinburgh on Sunday night.

Robinson was released by Edinburgh in November and was signed by the Panthers as a replacement for Davis Parley.

Robinson told BBC Radio Nottingham: "It was one of the first things I looked for to see when we were playing them.

"I'm going back there with both teams doing well at the moment. I can't wait to jump on the ice and have my little revenge on them."

Robinson was conceding over five goals a game with Edinburgh, but has been a revelation since joining the Panthers.

His statistics since arriving at the National Ice Centre have made him the best netminder in the Elite League. Robinson is conceding just 2.17 goals per game and has a save percentage of 93.4%.

Panthers will be at full-strength for Sunday's trip to Edinburgh. Johan Molin and Rumun Ndur are still out through injury, so Corey LeClair and Juri Golicic will continue to deputise.
