THE REST ON THE QUEST
The Stingrays and Checkers game last night was the only game in town as there weren't any other games in the ECHL and AHL or NHL.
Both the AHL and NHL playoffs will begin tonight.
There are six games in the ECHL tonight, as every team not in the Southern Division will be playing tonight.
BLAST FROM THE PAST
On their way to winning their two ECHL Kelly Cups, the Rays played 18 playoff games each postseason, 1997 and 2001. That had been the team record for most postseason games played until last season when the Rays, who made it all the way to the Conference Finals, played 20 postseason games going 10-10.
