Richardson scored in Panthers 3-2 victory over Edinburgh

Nottingham Panthers kept alive their slim Elite League title hopes with a 3-2 home win over Edinburgh Capitals.

Panthers need to rely on the Capitals winning in Coventry on Thursday to give them a chance going into the final weekend of the league season.

Stevie Lee put Panthers ahead and although Simon Lambert levelled, Cameron Mann made it 2-1 to the hosts.

Bruce Richardson scored a third into an empty net before Jeff Hutchins netted a last-gasp consolation for the visitors.

Richardson told BBC Radio Nottingham: "We found a way to win and we still have to hope we can win the league."
