South Carolina (1-0-0-0, 2 points)<\/a> outshot Jacksonville by a 2-1 margin with four players recording multi-point nights.<\/p>\nThe Icemen took advantage of an early Stingrays turnover, with Colby Ambrosio netting the game\u2019s first goal one minute, 3 seconds into the contest. But South Carolina settled in and had 13 of the first 14 shots, though the Stingrays could not find an answer in the first period.<\/p>\n
With three minutes left in the opening period, Zach Andrusiak dropped the gloves with Jacksonville\u2019s Jaden Condotta, resulting in a penalty that the Stingrays killed off.<\/p>\n
With just over five minutes left in the second period, J\u00e9r\u00e9mie Biakabutuka ripped a slap shot past Icemen goalie Chase Wutzke, netting South Carolina\u2019s first goal of the season and tying the game.<\/p>\n
Tyler Weiss then connected with Ryan Sandelin on a cross-ice pass that led to the go-ahead goal in the dying seconds of the middle period, pushing the Stingrays ahead 2-1 heading to the third.<\/p>\n
The Stingrays extended their lead on the power play early in the third period. Kyle Jackson found Josh Wilkins open in front of the net, doubling South Carolina\u2019s lead to 3-1. Minutes later, the lead grew to three when a defensive zone breakout led to Alex Gaffney connecting with Cam Morrison for his first goal as a Stingray.<\/p>\n
The goals kept pouring in for South Carolina, with Tyler Kopff cashing in against his former team midway through the final frame, sealing the victory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JACKSONVILLE \u2014 The South Carolina Stingrays\u2019 season got off to a shaky start against the Jacksonville Icemen on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":430359,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[24664,116,118,39026,117,23760,47184,38637],"class_list":["post-430358","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jacksonville","tag-echl","tag-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville-headlines","tag-jacksonville-icemen","tag-jacksonville-news","tag-jesse-kallechy","tag-minor-league-hockey","tag-south-carolina-stingrays"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430358","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=430358"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430358\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/430359"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=430358"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=430358"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=430358"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
