Thunder Visit Stingrays For Sunday Matinee
The South Carolina Stingrays finish off a three-game home weekend when
they take on the Adirondack Thunder Sunday afternoon at the North
Charleston Coliseum. The Thunder picked up a victory over South Carolina
earlier this month in Glens Falls by a score of 3-2. South Carolina has won
four straight at home since returning from an 11-day trip up north. The
Stingrays are tied for second place in the ECHL’s South Division standings
with 61 total points after winning their first three games of the week.
Adirondack is tied in third place in the North Division with 62 points,
five points behind Manchester and one point behind Reading. Sunday’s
meeting is the second and final of the regular season between the two
teams.
Stingrays Dethrone Monarchs With Sweep
The South Carolina Stingrays used a hot start to get out ahead of the
Manchester Monarchs and secure a 5-3 victory Saturday in front of a
crowd of 8,106 fans on Pack The House Night at the North Charleston
Coliseum. John Parker scored 16 seconds in and added another tally in
the second period, while Marcus Perrier had a goal and two assists, and
both Rob Flick and Domenic Monardo each had a goal and an assist. Joe
Cannata made 24 saves to earn his third consecutive win for the Stingrays
in between the pipes. Monardo has now picked up a point in nine straight
games and has 28 points on the season (nine goals, 19 assists). Overall,
the shots were even for the game at 27-27. Both teams also went scoreless
on the power play with South Carolina finishing 0-for-4 and Manchester
ending 0-for-3.

Stingrays History vs. Adirondack
South Carolina faced Adirondack three times during the 201516 regular season, the Thunder’s first in the ECHL. Although the
Stingrays defeated Adirondack 5-1 in the teams’ first ever meeting
on Jan. 8, the Thunder got revenge with a 4-2 win the following
night and also defeated SC 3-2 in overtime on March 5. The two then
met up for a memorable 7-game series during last spring’s Kelly Cup
Playoffs, with the Stingrays taking the final two games in front of
their home crowd to clinch the series win. The first meeting between
the two on Feb. 7 was a 3-2 victory for the Thunder.
Monardo Making A Difference
Forward Domenic Monardo has been the hottest Stingrays’ forward
recently and is currently riding a nine-game point streak with 16
points on six goals and 10 assists during the span. Monardo has
goals in five of his last six games and has also recorded at least three
shots on goal in 10 of his last 11 outings. The Oakville, Ont. native
now has 28 points (nine goals, 19 assists) in 36 games with South
Carolina this year and has moved up to third in scoring among
active Stingrays players.
Flick Catches Fire
Rob Flick took it upon himself to erase an early deficit Friday night,
scoring once in each period to record the first hat trick of the season
for a Stingrays skater. Flick also had an assist on a goal by Scott
Tanski, and engaged in some physical play by dropping the gloves
for a fight late in the first period. He finished the contest with 11
penalty minutes. The forward leads the team in both goals (24) and
points (48) through 49 games this year. In addition, Flick has scored
points in 13 straight home games, dating back to Dec. 10. The
stretch is tied for the longest in the league this season.
Perrier Producing Offensively
Marcus Perrier has thrived offensively during the current home
stand for South Carolina and has now scored goals in back-to-back
games for the Stingrays. The forward also added two asssits in
Saturday night’s 5-3 win over Manchester and now has 18 points on
the season (seven goals, 11 assists) through 51 games. The versitile
skater has played both forward and defense this season for the Rays.

In a swap with the Hershey Bears, forward Kelly Zajac has been
recalled while defenseman Steve Weinstein has been released from
his professional tryout contract and returned to South Carolina.
Zajac had 46 points (10g, 36a) through 48 games this season. The

joining the team midway through the 2015-16 season. Weinstein
returns to South Carolina after playing in five games with Hershey
and picking up two assists to go along with a +3 rating. A native of
Los Angeles, Weinstein has suited up for 34 games on the blue line
with South Carolina this season and is the scoring leader among

Stingrays Acquire Rookie Forward Megannety
South Carolina traded for the ECHL rights to Patrick Megannety from
the Allen Americans Thursday in exchange for future considerations.
Megannety had been a member of the Pensacola Ice Flyers in the
SPHL, playing in 26 games this season. The forward has totaled 15
points on eight goals and seven assists during his rookie year. A
rookie out of Oakville, Ont., Megannety started his year with Allen,
playing in one game. He spent four seasons at Clarkson University
from 2012-16, playing in 142 games and totaling 57 points (22 goals,
35 assists).
Penalty Killing Prowess
Recently the Stingrays penalty kill has been among the best in the
ECHL and the team is now the top killing rate in the league at 85.8%
after holding Manchester to an 0-for-5 mark on Friday night and
0-for-3 on Saturday. South Carolina has not allowed a power play
goal in nine of their last 10 games.
Flick’s Hat Trick Powers Rays Over Monarchs
Rob Flick had four points Friday night, scoring the first hat trick of
the season for the South Carolina Stingrays in a 5-2 defeat of the
Manchester Monarchs at the North Charleston Coliseum. Colton
Saucerman also factored into the scoring with three assists, while
both Domenic Monardo and Steve Weinstein had two helpers for
the Stingrays. Goaltender Joe Cannata made 27 saves to pick up his
second win in as many starts for South Carolina. South Carolina won
the special teams battle on the night, scoring on two of their three
man-advantages in the game in addition to holding the Monarchs
off the board at 0-for-5. By factoring in on the scoring, Monardo
has extended his point streak to eight games, dating back to Feb. 3,
which was a 3-2 win over the Monarchs in Manchester.
Rays Overcome Early Deficit To Defeat Glads 4-2
The South Carolina Stingrays were down 2-0 after the first
period but stormed back with four straight goals to overtake the
Atlanta Gladiators by a score of 4-2 on Tuesday night at the North
Charleston Coliseum. The first ECHL goal of Alex Brooks’ career
turned out to be the game-winner in the third period for South
Carolina, while Domenic Monardo scored for the fourth consecutive
game and extended his point streak to seven contests. Goaltender
Joe Cannata, who was reassigned to the Stingrays earlier in the day,
made his first start for South Carolina and stopped 25 shots. Andrew
Cherniwchan added insurance at 18:22 of the third with his sixth
goal of the season from Monardo and Rob Flick.
