Swamp Rabbits' Win Streak Halted at Three

November 16, 2024 - ECHL (ECHL)
Greenville Swamp Rabbits News Release


(GREENVILLE, S.C.) - The Greenville Swamp Rabbits saw their win streak stop at three straight games as the Florida Everblades, led by Carson Gicewicz's hat trick, three shorthanded goals, and a 23-save shutout from Cam Johnson, took an 8-0 win on Saturday afternoon.

Florida took a 6-0 lead into the dressing room after 20 minutes of play, capitalizing on quick scoring sequences to pull away early. The first three goals came in a 2:10 span, starting with Carson Gicewicz scoring twice in 1:27, potting an awkward bounce off the back wall of the Swamp Rabbits end boards and cashing in on a crossbar rebound on the only Florida power play to double the lead to 2-0 fast. After Gary Haden made it 3-0 at 9:28, Swamp Rabbits Head Coach Kyle Mountain called a timeout, and the team pushed back. Florida, however, broke through the energy and cashed in three more times, including a pair of shorthanded goals 23 seconds apart from Oliver Chau and Kyle Betts, to carry a 6-0 at the end of the first period. Dryden McKay was substituted out after 18:14 of the first, stopping eight of 13 shots. Kolby Hay came in relief for the rest of the game in what was his professional debut.

Oliver Chau added a second shorthanded tally in the second and was followed by Gicewicz to complete his hat trick 2:08 apart to balloon the score to 8-0. Cam Johnson hung on for the Everblades in preserving his shutout, stopping six, 10, and seven shots, respectively, to snag a 23-save shutout.

Dryden McKay suffered the defeat, having played in all but two games this season for the Swamp Rabbits (2-3-1-0). Kolby Hay, making his professional debut in relief, stopped 18 of 21 shots in 41:32 of hockey.

The Swamp Rabbits conclude their weekend with a rematch against the Everblades tomorrow afternoon, November 17th. Puck drop is slated for 3:05 p.m. EST at Bon Secours Wellness Arena.
