BRING OUT THE BROOMS: For the first time this year, the Stingrays were able to sweep a week-long series. The team won all four games by a margin of at least two goals. 

EASY FOR ENGELBERT: Jamie Engelbert has six goals in his last five games with the Stingrays. Since joining the Stingrays after the first weekend of the season, Engelbert's six goals are tied for the team lead, and his 11 points are tied for second on South Carolina.

GOALIES GETTING IT DONE: Not to be outdone with all the goals scored this week, the goaltending trio of Mitchell Gibson, Garin Bjorklund, and Seth Eisele allowed just four goals in four games and compiled a .965 save percentage between the three. The Stingrays have allowed 1.83 goals against per game, the second-fewest in the ECHL.

HAWERCHUK’S GORDIE HOWE HAT TRICK: Ben Hawerchuk recorded a goal, an assist, and a fight in Saturday night’s victory in Maine. He received a five-game suspension for leaving the penalty box to get involved in an on-ice altercation. Hawerchuk served the first game of his suspension in Sunday afternoon’s contest and will also miss the next four games.
