NORTH CHARLESTON, SC - The Gladiators (17-37-3-2) and the South Carolina Stingrays (36-18-1-6) close out their 16-game season series with one more game at the North Charleston Coliseum on Sunday afternoon. In last night's game, the Stingrays set a new ECHL record for most consecutive wins with 18-straight, thanks to Marcus Perrier's four-goal, five-point night and Jeff Jakaitis' 21-save shutout, his third straight shutout of his former team.

Glads Notes:

Records Set This Weekend: The Stingrays have set several records this weekend against Gwinnett. On Friday, they set the new record for most consecutive road wins in ECHL history with their 11th-straight victory. In last night's game, they won their 18th-straight game, and Jeff Jakaitis set the new ECHL record for longest shutout streak in league history - 259:32 minutes without allowing a goal. The last time he let a goal go by was 3:01 into the first period against the Gladiators on March 6th.
