NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. \u2013 At the tail end of a four-game homestand, the South Carolina Stingrays scored twice in both the second and third periods to skate past the Jacksonville Icemen, 4-1, on Friday night at the North Charleston Coliseum in front of 5,041 fans.<\/p>\n
After a quiet first period, South Carolina (26-14-1-0) jumped in front early in the middle frame. Charlie Combs received a pass from Stan Cooley at the near circle and beat Jacksonville (17-19-2-0) netminder Cameron Rowe short side to put the Stingrays ahead, 1-0.<\/p>\n
Just over seven minutes later, Connor Moore wired home his second goal of the season on the power play, doubling the Stingrays\u2019 advantage with 7:30 remaining in the second period.<\/p>\n
Late in the second period, while on a four-minute power play, the Icemen eventually broke through. Bennett MacArthur scored with 1:15 left in the frame to cut South Carolina\u2019s lead in half, 2-1.<\/p>\n
The goal was the only one allowed by Stingrays goaltender Seth Eisele through the first 40 minutes, as he preserved the one-goal advantage heading into the third period.<\/p>\n
Jacksonville pressured Eisele early in the final 20 minutes, but the netminder turned aside every chance the visitors generated. With less than five minutes remaining, South Carolina forced a turnover in the defensive zone, and Kaden Bohlsen capitalized on a breakaway to restore the Stingrays\u2019 two-goal cushion, 3-1.<\/p>\n
Ludwig Persson added an empty-net goal with 41 seconds remaining to seal South Carolina\u2019s 4-1 victory over Jacksonville. <\/p>\n
Eisele earned his ninth win of the season, stopping 29 of 30 shots, including all 12 he faced in the third period. Persson and Simon Pinard each recorded multi-point nights in the victory for the Stingrays, while nine different players tallied at least one point. <\/p>\n
The Stingrays and Icemen wrap up a home-and-home set tomorrow evening. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m. at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida. <\/p>\n
