Due to deteriorating travel conditions and road closures in the Charlotte area, as well as concern for the well-being of staff that would be needed to open the game, the Charlotte Checkers today announced that Sunday’s 1 p.m. game at Bojangles Coliseum will be closed to the public.
The Florida Panthers have assigned goaltender Kirill Gerasimyuk from the Checkers to the ECHL's Savannah Ghost Pirates.
Gerasimyuk, 22, is 4-4-1 this season in Charlotte, posting a 2.33 goals-against average and a .904 save percentage, along with two shutouts. The St. Petersburg, RUS, native last saw action on January 18 against Hershey, making 16 saves in a 4-3 win.
He's suited up for four games in Savannah during the 2025-26 season, logging a 2-1-1 record, a 1.95 GAA and a .923 save percentage.
The Charlotte Checkers (25-12-3-0) stretched their point streak to a season-long eight games with a dominating 7-1 win over the Hartford Wolf Pack (16-20-4-1) on Wednesday night at PeoplesBank Arena.
