Notes

Goaltender Bryan Bridges, signed earlier this week as an emergency back-up, holds the WHL career (20) and single-season (13) shutout records ... All-time, South Carolina has won just 14 of 36 regular season home games against the 'Blades ... Florida D A.J. Thelan was Minnesota's first pick, 12th overall, in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft ... Thelan (Memorial Cup, Vancouver, 2007), Ross Carlson (NCAA Frozen Four, Wisconsin, 2007), and Peto (Kelly Cup, Idaho, 2007) have been a part of recent championship teams ... The Stingrays have outshot opponents in each of their three games this season ... Florida will be without the services of Herauf, who was placed on the 7-day injured reserve earlier this week, and 2007 ECHL All-Star Ryan Lang, who was placed on the 3-day IR. Meanwhile, a pair of first-year pros, D James DeLory and F Dan Travis, have been activated off IR for the Everblades.
