ONE IS THE LONELIEST NUMBER
The Greenville Swamp Rabbits (20-24-3-1), proud ECHL affiliate of the New York Rangers and the AHL’s Hartford Wolf Pack, took the ice just once last week, facing off with the Jacksonville Icemen on Tuesday night. The Swamp Rabbits battled back to tie the game in the second period as both Evan Jasper and Caleb Herbert recorded goals for Greenville. Goaltender Ty Rimmer made a game-high 17 saves in the first period and eventually finished the game with 45 stops. The Icemen capitalized on a 2-on-0 in the third period to take the lead and eventually potted an empty net goal to produce a 4-2 final score. Sean Flanagan, Sergey Zborovskiy, Shane Walsh, and Matt Prapavessis also recorded points in the game, assisting on Greenville’s pair of goals.
HOT HARE
Ty Rimmer – 1 GP | (0-1-0-0), 45 Saves, 3.08 GAA, .938 SV%
Greenville’s netminder produced another 40+ save outing, marking his ninth game with over 40 saves this season. The Edmonton, Alberta native has accrued 900 saves this season, fifth highest among all ECHL goaltenders. Rimmer has made 185 saves in almost 300 minutes of play in his last five starts, earning a .920 save percentage. The 6-foot-1 goaltender is three wins away from having the fifth most victories by a Swamp Rabbits netminder.
