Forward Rob Ricci recorded his second professional hat trick as the Stingrays cruised to a 4-1 victory. The Trenton Devils rolled into town for a three-game in three-night series starting Friday. Ricci netted two goals including the game-winning tally to edge the Devils 3-2 Friday night. On Saturday, the Stingrays erased a two-goal deficit to defeat the Devils 3-2 in the shootout. Ricci and forward Jake Hauswirth lit the lamp and forward Samson Mahbod registered the only goal in the shootout for the win. The two teams wrapped up the regular-season series on Sunday.
