Swamp Rabbits Shut Out Ghost Pirates 3–0

SAVANNAH, Ga. — The Savannah Ghost Pirates, proud ECHL affiliate of the Florida Panthers, fell 3–0 to the Greenville Swamp Rabbits on Saturday night at Enmarket Arena.

The opening period featured a fast-paced, high-intensity start, but neither team was able to find the back of the net as the game remained scoreless after 20 minutes.

Greenville broke through 8:40 into the second period when Jake Murray sent a cross-ice pass to Neil Shea, who buried a wrist shot from the right circle to give the Swamp Rabbits a 1–0 lead.

The Ghost Pirates pushed for the equalizer in the third period, but Greenville added an empty-net goal at the 17:47 mark as Wade Murphy sealed the advantage.

The Swamp Rabbits tacked on one more late, as Ryan O’Hara scored on the power play with 45 seconds remaining to make it a 3–0 final.

Pierce Charleson earned the shutout for Greenville, stopping all 27 shots he faced. Vinnie Purpura made 19 saves on 21 shots for Savannah.

The Ghost Pirates close out their six-game homestand Sunday afternoon against the Atlanta Gladiators for Health Care Heroes Night, presented by Memorial Health and Publix. Puck drop is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. ET. The game will be streamed live on FloHockey and broadcast on Mixlr.
