Thursday, February 5 — vs. South Carolina (5–3 W)
Savannah continued its momentum at home with a come-from-behind 5–3 win over the South Carolina Stingrays, despite playing three skaters short at one point in the game. Chris Lipe, Keaton Pehrson, Nick Granowicz and Tristian Amonte scored for the Ghost Pirates, with Amonte netting the first two goals of his professional career.
Friday, February 6 — vs. Florida (4–2 W)
