Lobsters Rock The House With A Win & Sellout

ATHENS, GA. - The Athens Rock Lobsters defeated the Pee Dee IceCats 3-1 at Akins Ford Arena, in front of a sold-out Saturday-night crowd of 5,772.

The first-period plaudits belonged to Daniil Glukharyov who sniped the top corner from distance at the 4:23 mark before poking a power-play goal in for a brace in the first 20 minutes. 

Someone who loves to score against the IceCats, Garrett Milan made it 3-0 after following up on a Devyn Mayea shot with 1:32 gone in the middle frame. 

Pee Dee scratched one back on a Chance Adrian power-play rebound late on in the second.

Outshooting Athens 15-3 in the third period, the IceCats just couldn’t find a way past Carter McPhail; the Michigander was excellent in his return to Athens from his ECHL loan to the Greenville Swamp Rabbits, making 34 saves on 35 shots.

The Rock Lobsters (15-4-4-0, 53 pts) return to Akins Ford Arena for a New Year’s Eve celebration along with their game against the Columbus River Dragons. Puck drops at 7:05 p.m. and tickets can be found here.
