Game 6: Shasby's Back

Alaska Aces veteran defenseman Matt Shasby will be back on the blue line tonight for Game 6 of the ECHL Kelly Cup Finals against the South Carolina Stingrays.

Aces coach Keith McCambridge confirmed Shasby's return after the club wrapped its morning skate at Sullivan Arena a few minutes ago.

Shasby, the alternate captain who was second-team All-ECHL this season, was a healthy scratch in Alaska's season-saving 3-2 overtime win in Game 3 in South Carolina last Saturday night. Nick Tuzzolino filled Shasby's spot in the lineup in that match and furnished an assist.

The Stingrays lead 3-2 in the best-of-7 finale. The Aces must win tonight to force Game 7 Friday night.
