THE USUAL SUSPECTS

South Carolina has 14 different goal scorers this season and they relied on their top scorers in Friday night's contest. Carter Turnbull netted his team-leading ninth goal, tied for the most among rookies in the ECHL. Kevin O'Neil tallied his sixth goal, tying Bear Hughes for second on the team while Josh Wilkins' fourth tuck of the season ranks him fourth on the Stingrays in goals scored.

POWERFUL ENERGY

The Stingrays remain unbeaten in regulation at home this season (3-0-0-1) behind the power play that has been clicking at the North Charleston Coliseum.

The Stingrays will go back to Tyler Wall between the pipes tonight for his fourth start of the season. Early this year, Wall is 2-1 with a .853 save percentage and 4.75 goals against average.
