Kravchenko's two points gave him his seventh multi-point game of the season and his second in as many nights.

The goal for Hughes was his eighth of the season and the 19th of his professional career. The St. Lawrence University graduate has now collected 18 points (8-10-18) in 47 games this season and currently ranks first in Thunder franchise history with 110 games played with the team.
STING THE RAYS: Adirondack and South Carolina have met just once this season, on February 7, which resulted in a 3-2 victory for the Thunder at the Glens Falls Civic Center as Stepan Falkovsky scored the game-winning goal late in the third period. In franchise history, including the postseason, the Thunder have gone 6-4-1against South Carolina, which included a seven-game playoff series in 2016.
