JACKSONVILLE, FL \u2013 Topias Leinonen stopped 19 of 20 shots to help guide the Icemen to a 2-1 victory over the Greenville Swamp Rabbits Sunday evening. With the win, coupled with a Savannah loss on Sunday, the Icemen now pull within two points of the final playoff spot in the South Division.<\/p>\n

It took the Icemen just 29 seconds to strike in this one, as Will Hillman netted his 14th\u00a0goal of the season to give the Icemen the early 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n

That score remained until the second period, when forward Craig Martin took off into the Greenville end for a breakaway chance and cleanly carved a backhanded shot into the corner of the net to\u00a0give the Icemen the 2-0 edge.<\/p>\n

Greenville tried to rally in the third, Denis Smirnov netted a tally to pull the Swamp Rabbits within one, but the Icemen would close this one out with a 2-1 victory.<\/p>\n

The Icemen have some much needed time to rest before facing Atlanta in Duluth on Saturday.<\/p>\n
