December 29, 2024 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Charlotte Checkers News Release
With Ken Appleby playing a perfect game in net, Justin Sourdif's second-period goal would be enough to fuel an impressive 1-0 shutout win for Charlotte.
HOW IT HAPPENED
The Checkers' penalty kill played an essential role throughout the game, starting by coming up big to keep the game scoreless after 20 minutes.
Sourdif gave the Checkers the lead as the clock dwindled in the second period, collecting a pass from behind the net and sending it past the Hershey goalie.
Appleby would defend Hershey's scoring attempts, for the rest of regulation from there, shutting out the Bears for a Checkers win.
