South Carolina Stingrays News Release
North Charleston, S.C. - Josh Johnson stopped all 31 shots that came his way at the North Charleston Coliseum, as he gave the South Carolina Stingray's their first shut out win of the year, 3-0, extending their winning streak to eight games.
"Johnson was huge for us all game," said Head Coach Jared Bednar. "We came out a little flat early in the game, but he really kept us in it."
In the first period South Carolina got out to a slow start, but on a fluky goal took a 1-0 lead. The goal was unassisted and credited to Trent Campbell, his first goal of the season, at 14:29.
In the second period Cail MacLean got a great pass from Pierre-Luc O'Brien on the power play, and made it 2-0. It was the fourth goal of the season for MacLean and was assisted by O'Brien and Chris Chaput. The goal came at 13:48.
In the third period, it was Campbell once again as he tallied his second goal of the night, and the season. The goal came at 6:21 from Steve Pinizzotto and Scott Romfo, and made the score 3-0, the eventual final.
The winning goalie was Johnson who registered the shutout, stopping 31 shots. The losing goaltender, for the second game in a row was Cam Ellsworth who stopped 31 of the 34 shots that he faced. The Rays went 1-4 on the power play while killing off all five short handed situations they faced.
South Carolina returns to action tomorrow night, the final time the team will play before the holiday break. They welcome in the Charlotte Checkers for Bad Christmas Sweater night. Wear your worst Christmas sweater and you may win a prize. Game time will be at 7:05.
