In their second meeting of the season, the two sides were level for only a few minutes, as Victor Hadfield scored his third of the season, tipping a puck into the Greenville net for a 1-0 Jacksonville lead. The Icemen doubled the lead at 6:26, as Derek Lodermeier scored a power-play goal.The intermission adjustments paid dividends for the Swamp Rabbits as Tanner Eberle sniped his fifth of the season at 2:53 to cut the Jacksonville lead in half. After the Icemen took a penalty 11:25, Greenville's power-play needed just 20 seconds before Alex Ierullo scored his sixth of the campaign to level the score line at 2-2. Another Icemen penalty gave way for another power-play goal, as Nikita Pavlychev tucked his team-leading 11th of the season into the net for the Swamp Rabbits' first lead of the night. Into the third, the Icemen tied the game at 10:23, as Zach Jordan backhanded his second of the season. Greenville goaltender David Hrenak made multiple highlight-reel saves to keep the game tied, before Joe Gatenby fired the puck through a screen and into the net for a 4-3 Greenville lead at 17:57, his second of the season and first game-winning goal of his career. Hrenak earned his second consecutive victory and fourth of the season after stopping 36 of 37 Jacksonville shots.With the win, the Swamp Rabbits improve to 8-5-3-0 while the Icemen fall to 8-8-0-0.The Swamp Rabbits remain at home to Bon Secours Wellness Arena on December 2, to welcome the Atlanta Gladiators to Greenville for the first time this season at 7:05 p.m. Swamp Rabbits tickets can be purchased at SwampRabbits.com or at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena Box Office.
