Charlotte and Syracuse battled it out in another tight contest Saturday, and it was the Checkers who emerged victorious once again - downing the Crunch 3-2 to pick up a weekend sweep.
The Florida Panthers have assigned goaltender Kirill Gerasimyuk from the Checkers to the ECHL's Savannah Ghost Pirates.
Gerasimyuk, 22, appeared in two games last week for Charlotte. The St. Petersburg, RUS, native made his AHL debut in relief on Wednesday in Hartford, stopping six shots in over 32 minutes of action against the Wolf Pack. On Sunday, in Providence, Gerasimyuk recorded his first AHL start, making 30 saves on 34 shots in a 5-2 loss to the Bruins.
The rookie goaltender was previously assigned to Savannah on October 24, suiting up for the Ghost Pirates on October 25 against the Jacksonville Icemen. Gerasimyuk notched 29 saves, picking up his first ECHL win in a 2-1 victory.
The Checkers’ annual Teddy Bear Toss, presented by Novant Health, will take place Saturday, Nov. 29, during the 4 p.m. game against the Toronto Marlies.
