DULUTH, Ga. - Sporting a new-look roster, the Gladiators (17-35-3-2) look to spoil the South Carolina Stingrays' (34-18-1-6) 16-game winning streak on Friday night. The two teams will wrap up their 16-game season series with a three-in-three set this weekend. SC's 16-game streak is the second longest winning streak in ECHL history, only behind the 17 straight achieved by the Cincinnati Cyclones in 2008. The Stingrays are also on a 10-game road winning streak, which is tied for the longest in league history.
