The Greenville Swamp Rabbits fell to the South Carolina Stingrays 2-1 Thursday night at the WELL! Carrying power play time into the start of the second period, South Carolina wasted no time in getting on the board first. With 18 seconds gone by in the middle frame, Bear Hughes found Austin Magera from behind the net and in the slot area, banking the puck past Swamp Rabbits netminder David Hrenak to give the Stingrays a 1-0 lead (Hughes and Michael Kim assisted). The Swamp Rabbits attacked the Stingrays net, taking the shot lead at 22-17 after forty minutes, but were denied by Tyler Wall each time. Carter Souch rang a shot off the crossbar just minutes after the first Stingrays goal, and Brett Kemp had two great opportunities to light the lamp, missing glove side. Greenville went 0/2 on the power play in the second period.

With the loss, the Swamp Rabbits (36-23-8-1, 81pts) stay put in the fourth-place spot in the South Division standings with four games to play in the season. Greenville’s magic number to clinch a playoff spot remains at three, with another chance to clinch as early as tomorrow night. The Swamp Rabbits stay at Bon Secours Wellness Arena for two more games this weekend with the Orlando Solar Bears, continuing tomorrow, Friday, April 7th. The first of back-to-back games with Orlando to close out the season series is slated for a 7:05 p.m. puck drop.
