DULUTH, Ga. - The Gladiators swept a three-game home stretch last week and moved up to second place in the South Division. Atlanta plays one game at home this week before visiting Greenville for a two-game set this weekend.

A Look Ahead: The Savannah Ghost Pirates visit Duluth for the fourth time this season on Tuesday for a 7:00 PM puck drop at Gas South Arena. Atlanta has won the last two matchups against Savannah, including a 2-1 victory last week on Thanksgiving. Goaltender David Tendeck was stellar in the Thursday win for the Glads with 27 saves on 28 shots and will draw the start for Atlanta again against the Ghost Pirates on Tuesday. TICKETS

The Gladiators travel to upstate South Carolina for games on Friday and Saturday against the Greenville Swamp Rabbits. Greenville has won its last two games, and the Swamp Rabbits are lead by Nikita Pavlychev (10G-5A) and Alex Ierullo (5G-10A) with 15 points each.

Special Teams Feast on Thanksgiving: The Gladiators scored two power-play goals from Eric Neiley and Kameron Kielly while the penalty kill was a perfect 6-for-6 on Thanksgiving. Goaltender David Tendeck stopped 27 of 28 Savannah shots in the 2-1 home win.

Kirk and Parks Shine Under Friday Night Lights: On Friday against the South Carolina Stingrays, forward Liam Kirk and goaltender Tyler Parks shined the brightest for Atlanta in a 3-1 win at Gas South Arena. Kirk scored his first two Gladiators goals in the third period, and Parks tied a season best with 44 saves on 45 Stingrays shots.
