The Washington Capitals announced Monday they re-signed goaltender Garin Bjorklund to a one-year, two-way contract, which will carry an annual average value (AAV) of $775,000 at the NHL level and $110,000 in the AHL.
The ECHL has announced that South Carolina Stingrays goaltender Garin Bjorklund has been named the ECHL goaltender of the week for February 17th-23rd. In Bjorklund’s two appearances last week, he went 2-0-0 with a shutout, a .50 goals against average, and a .980 save percentage.
The South Carolina Stingrays looked set the tone early in the first period. Despite the Atlanta Gladiators‘ efforts to fight back, including goals in the second and third periods, the Stingrays maintained their strong offensive and defensive play.
NHL head coaches have to hire good assistants. They have to set an overarching philosophy, juggle lineup configurations, and do the kind of “man management” that is impossible to track statistically.
In a highly anticipated ECHL South Division showdown, the South Carolina Stingrays faced off against the Atlanta Gladiators at Gas South Arena. Both teams entered the game with a lot to prove, aiming to secure crucial points in the standings.
Sunday, November 3rd was the first divisional matchup between the Atlanta Gladiators and the South Carolina Stingrays this season at the North Charleston Coliseum.
