Ice Cats Sweep Weekend, Take Seventh Straight Over Bobcats 4-2

WYTHEVILLE, VA-

The Pee Dee Ice Cats swept the weekend against the Blue Ridge Bobcats and won their 7th of the 9 total meetings between the two before a crowd of 2,161 at Hitachi Energy Arena Sunday afternoon.

Blue Ridge started the game on the power play for the second consecutive night and found a way to convert this time, as captain Danny Martin redirected a shot from Stephen Alvo past Breandan Colgan for his 20th tally of the season and put the home side ahead 1-0.

Special teams again ended up being the difference, as 2 Pee Dee power play goals pushed them to a 2 goal win. Patriks Marcinkevics tied the game on the man advantage at 8:23 of the first.

The only two goals of the second period came from the Ice Cats from Dominiks Marcinekvics who potted the eventual game winning goal at 12:43. His marker was followed on the power play by Denis Zaichyk less than three minutes later on the power play at 15:43.

Nick McHugh stuffed home a rebound with Anthony Shrum pulled for the extra attacker to cut Pee Dee's lead to 3-2 with 2:02 remaining in regulation but it was too little too late as Alexander Legkov sealed the deal with an empty netter 61 seconds later.

The Bobcats now travel to Danbury for a divisional battle with the Hat Tricks before returning home to host the Biloxi Breakers.
