FLORENCE, SC -- Nick Boucher made 25 saves to earn his third shut-out of the season, and second straight white-washing, as the Pee Dee Pride blanked the Louisiana IceGators 4-0 Saturday at the Florence Civic Center.

It took the Pride just 24 seconds to score the only goal they would need. Jake Wiegand gathered in a puck at the blue line and blasted a shot past Nathan Marsters for his first goal of the season.

The Pride put three goals on the board in the second to set the final.

In the win, Allan Sirois set a pair of career milestones. With two assists, the veteran notched both his 500th career point and 500th ECHL point.

Pee Dee is back on action on Friday, hosting the South Carolina Stingrays at 7:30 p.m. The Pride will be holding a food drive during the game to benefit the Manna House. All fans are encouraged to bring canned-food goods with them to the game to help out the less fortunate during the holiday season.

Tickets for all Pride home games are available at the Florence Civic Center Box Office, or through TicketMaster at (843) 679-9333 or www.ticketmaster.com.
