N. CHARLESTON, S.C. - The South Carolina Stingrays and Pensacola Ice Pilots will take the ice tonight at the North Charleston Coliseum at 7:05 p.m. This is the fifth meeting between the two teams this season and the third in a row. The Rays are 3-1-0 against Pensacola this year.

The last time the teams met, the Ice Pilots got off to a quick three goal lead and held on to defeat the Stingrays 7-4, including an empty net goal with nine seconds left in the game. Pensacola right winger Matt Wirll scored a hat trick in the effort and former Stingrays John Hecimovic added a goal as well.
