LAST TIME OUT:

The Greenville Swamp Rabbits salvaged two out of three games against the Florida Everblades capped by a 3-0 victory last Saturday at Hertz Arena. Matt Bradley opened the scoring midway through the second period, followed by Frank Hora's third goal of the weekend at 14:44. Leading 2-0 in the third period, Jack Poehling hit the empty net to complete Greenville's successful weekend. The South Carolina Stingrays are back in action after dropping a 3-2 overtime decision versus Jacksonville on Wednesday night. Justin Florek and Matthew Weis tallied for the Rays before Icemen captain Wacey Rabbit walked off the game at 1:03 of sudden-death overtime.

BEDNARD HONORED AGAIN:

Earlier this week, Swamp Rabbits goaltender Ryan Bednard was named recipient of the Warrior Hockey ECHL Goaltender of the Week award for April 12-18, 2021. It is the fourth time this season Bednard has earned the weekly honor. Bednard started back-to-back games at Hertz Arena on Friday and Saturday and helped Greenville to 4-2 and 3-0 victories. On Friday, the backstop turned aside 30 of 32 Everblades shot before recording a 19-save clean sheet the next night. The Macomb Township, Michigan native currently leads ECHL goaltenders in wins (18), shutouts (4) and minutes played (1,831). Under an NHL Contract with the Florida Panthers, Bednard currently possesses an 18-6-6 record accompanied by a 2.46 goals-against average and .916 save percentage.
