Elmira led the league in short-handed goals with 18 in 2010-2011 and scored its first goal while down a man this season last Saturday when Mike Ratchuk feathered a puck into the net from the slot in the second period. The Jackals are one of six teams to have scored a short-handed goal through the first week of the season.
