TIME TO HIT THE ROAD

The Greenville Swamp Rabbits (1-2-1-0), proud ECHL affiliate of the New York Rangers and the AHL’s Hartford Wolf Pack, hit the ice in North Charleston, SC and Glens Falls, NY and recorded nine goals in the first half of a four-game road trip. For the second week in a row, the Swamp Rabbits utilized a high-powered offensive attack and tallied a combined 64 shots on net in the two contests. Fourteen different skaters for Greenville notched a point and the Swamp Rabbits were paced by Dawson Leedahl and Allan McPherson. The two forwards each earned four points in the first two games of this road trip. Goaltender Brandon Halverson notched Greenville’s first win of the season, making 36 saves against the Thunder last night.

Greenville’s rookie forward burst out on Tuesday night in Adirondack, earning his first two goals in pro hockey. Leedahl has earned five points (2G, 3A) in four games this season and is fourth on the Swamp Rabbits in scoring. The Saskatoon, Saskatchewan native trails the league leader among rookies by only one point.
