THE MATCHUP

The South Carolina Stingrays host the Cincinnati Cyclones to open 2016. The Stingrays enter today's game on a three-game winning streak after topping Norfolk twice last weekend, and defeating Orlando, 5-3, on the road this past Tuesday. South Carolina is led by former Cyclone David Pacan who has posted a team-best 20 points in 29 games this season. On the other side, former Stingray Jack Downing has been strong for the Cyclones, scoring 23 points in 28 games. The two teams meet again tomorrow, but then do not play for the remainder of the season.

KOMM NAMED GOALIE OF WEEK

Goaltender Branden Komm is a perfect 6-0-0-0 on the season. After recording his first ECHL shutout on Sunday in a 3-0 win over Norfolk, Komm was named the CCM Hockey ECHL Goaltender of the Week. Komm has posted a 1.67 goals-against average this season and a .929 save percentage. The New York native appeared in one game with the Cyclones last season but spent the majority of his rookie season in Evansville.

JONES LEADS THE WAY

Defenseman Nick Jones enters tonight's game with a three-game point streak. The second-year pro has scored a goal in four of his last six games, including the game-winning tally in a 3-0 victory over Norfolk last Sunday. The former Mercyhurst defenseman leads the team in scoring from the blue line with 12 points (five goals, seven assists).

PERRIER'S POINT STREAK

Second-year pro Marcus Perrier has excelled since moving to forward & currently owns a three-game point streak, notching five points (two goals, three assists) in that span.

TOP 5 PENALTY KILL

With a recent string of success, the Stingrays penalty kill is now ranked 5th in the ECHL denying 85.7% of opponents chances on the power play. The Stingrays have also scored four shorthanded goals this season.

STRONG DEFENSE

The South Carolina Stingrays are allowing a league-low 25 shots per game this season. The Stingrays are also allowing the second least goals per game in the ECHL at just 2.10.
