GREENSBORO, N.C. — The Wheeling Nailers added a couple of new items to the history books on Saturday night as they finished off a three-game sweep of the Greensboro Gargoyles at First Horizon Coliseum.

Wheeling earned its sixth straight win for its first 7-1-0 start in team history, which was also the 500th road win in the club’s 34-year history.

Zach Urdahl broke a 1-1 tie with a shorthanded goal in the third period, and Jaxon Castor made 23 saves to get the 2-1 victory to the finish line for the Nailers.

The Nailers netted the lone goal of the opening stanza, and they needed just 2:10 to do so. Eric Parker flicked a wrist shot toward the goal from the right wing wall, and the puck went into the left side of the cage. Matthew Quercia and Mike Posma picked up the assists.
