On a Streak:

The Stingrays enter tonight's matchup on a three-game winning streak, defeating the Gwinnett Gladiators last week Thursday, 3-2 in overtime, 3-2 Saturday afternoon in regulation and 3-0 on Sunday afternoon.

Bellamy Returns:

Stingrays forward Rob Bellamy returns to the Twin Tiers for the first time after spending the last three seasons with the Jackals. In 204 games with Elmira, the Westfield, Massachusetts, native registered 48 goals and 62 assists for 110 points.
