Tessier wants to end on a high

Nottingham Panthers forward Dan Tessier wants to end his career on a high by winning the play-offs this weekend.

Panthers face Coventry in Saturday's semi-final, with the winner playing Sheffield or Cardiff in the final.

He told BBC Radio Nottingham: "I don't want Saturday to be my last game. I'll be one person hard to stop.

"It's one of those things I want to get going. It would finish off my career and I'd be happy. I'd love to win something for Nottingham."

Tessier tasted play-off success last season as a Sheffield player when they beat Coventry 2-0, but now he wants to repeat that feat with Nottingham.

He added: "I won something for Sheffield and now I would like to do that for Nottingham."
