KALAMAZOO, MI – The Kalamazoo Wings (27-31-5-2), proud ECHL affiliate of the National Hockey League’s Vancouver Canucks, lost to the South Carolina Stingrays (48-14-3-2) Saturday in front of 5,081 fans and dogs at Wings Event Center for the PAW Patrol / Pucks N’ Paws game, 7-1.

The Stingrays earned another power-play goal at the 1:37 mark of the second, then even strength goals at the 8:26 and 12:23 marks.

Ryan Naumovski (3) got the K-Wings on the board at the 7:31 mark of the final frame. Collin Saccoman (15) found Drake Pilon (6) to bring the puck into the slot, where he fed Naumovski screaming down the left side for the goal.
