Greenville defense stifles Gladiators, Gladiators lose 4-0 on ‘Thrasher Night’
ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) – The Atlanta Gladiators celebrated the legacy of the Atlanta Thrashers Saturday, but the team didn’t have much to celebrate on-ice.
The Gladiators were stymied by a rock-solid Greenville Swamp Rabbits defense, which allowed just 24 shots.
Meanwhile, the Swamp Rabbits gave Atlanta goalie Gustavs Grigals a workout, sending 31 shots his way en route to a 4-0 victory.
Greenville forward Brett Kemp had himself a night, racking up three assists; he fed forward Austin Saint in the first period and forwards Ryan Francis and Josh McKechney in the second. Forward Brannon McManus added a goal for Greenville in the third.
The teams will have a rematch Sunday.
