NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. - A 24-save shutout performance by goaltender Tom McCollum gave the Florida Everblades (20-8-2-2) a 1-0 victory over the South Carolina Stingrays (23-3-3-1) Friday night, ending the Rays' league-best point streak at 16 games.
South Carolina netminder Logan Thompson kept his team in the game the whole way, turning aside 28 shots in a losing effort for the Stingrays. Thompson's goals-against average for the season is now 2.07, which is second-best in the ECHL behind his goalie partner, Parker Milner.
