Steelers pay tribute to Panthers player Johnson

Adam Johnson played 13 games for NHL side the Pittsburgh Penguins

Sheffield Steelers paid tribute to Nottingham Panthers forward Adam Johnson before their first home game since his death last month.

Johnson, 29, died after a serious cut to his neck from a skate during a Challenge Cup tie against the Steelers.

The Panthers will play for the first time since his death on Saturday, in a memorial game for the American.

They will face Manchester Storm in the exhibition game at the Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham, with memorial jerseys worn by the Panthers players to be sold to raise money for a fund established in Johnson's memory.

The Steelers won Sunday's Elite League game against the Blaze 2-1, after overtime.
