THREE IS THE MAGIC NUMBER- The Stingrays need three points to exceed Atlanta's maximum possible points total and clinch a playoff berth. A win on Wednesday would bring that magic number down to one point. Regardless of what happens on Wednesday, the Stingrays can clinch a playoff berth if they win Friday's game in Atlanta in any fashion.
GARIN AND GIBSON GETTING IT DONE- Stingrays goaltenders Garin Bjorklund and Mitchell Gibson each won two games this past week. Bjorklund allowed just two goals in two games, and Gibson allowed three in his two starts.
MAGERA MAGIC- Forward Austin Magera had a seven-game point streak snapped on Sunday, but he still has ten points (two goals, eight assists) in his last eight games.
