GREENVILLE, S.C. — The Greenville Swamp Rabbits are back for another Friday night home game. As of today, Nov. 1, the club will host the Savannah Ghost Pirates for the first time this season at Bon Secours Wellness Arena.
Savannah will be participating in its fifth game of the season, while the Swamp Rabbits are one game behind as they will participate in their fourth. Currently, the Ghost Pirates are in second place in the South Division and third place in the Eastern Conference with a 3-1-0 record for six points—just two points behind the Florida Everblades.
Meanwhile, the Swamp Rabbits are nearly in last place in the standings, being 12th in the conference and sixth in the division with a 1-1-1 record for three points. So far, out of three games played, the team has only won a single game, which was at home against the South Carolina Stingrays with a final score of 3-2.
Teams’ Statistics
For their stats, the Swamp Rabbits have scored seven goals with 12 against; the Ghost Pirates have 14 goals scored and six against. On their special teams, the Swamp Rabbits have a 17% PP success and an 83% kill percentage, while the Ghost Pirates have a 13.3% PP success and a 100% kill (two goals scored on the PP; ten penalties killed).
Goaltenders
For goaltenders, the Ghost Pirates have the likes of Evan Cormier, who is playing in his sixth season in the ECHL. He currently has a 1.50 GAA and a .941SV% from two games, which he has won. Then they have Keith Kinkaid, a 35-year-old veteran playing in his second season in the ECHL with 169 NHL games under his belt. So far for this season, he has won one game from two games played while posting a 1.52 GAA and a .935 SV%.
The Swamp Rabbits have the likes of Dryden McKay and Jacob Ingham.

Top Point Makers
Reece Vitelli is the leading point-getter for the Ghost Pirates, as he has six points from a goal and five assists. Meanwhile, the Rabbits have Patrick Moynihan, who has stood out as a solid player-maker with three so far, along with scoring a goal.
