Jeff Jakaitis, Stingrays on a roll

Jeff Jakaitis made 35 saves to set an ECHL record with his fourth straight shutout, sending the South Carolina Stingrays to their 20th consecutive victory with a 4-0 win over the Indy Fuel on Friday night in North Charleston, South Carolina. Jakaitis extended his league-record shutout streak to 319:32. He leads the ECHL with six shutouts, and has not allowed a goal since 3:01 into the first period of a 5-1 win against Gwinnett on March 6. The shutout streak is the second-longest in professional hockey history, trailing only Brian Boucher, who went 332:01 without allowing a goal for the NHL’s Phoenix Coyotes in the 2003-04 season. – AP
