JACKSONVILLE, FLA – Despite taking an early lead and holding it for forty minutes, Jacksonville was unable to overcome a third period surge by the Orlando Solar Bears on Thursday night.
Christophe Lalancette got the scoring started for the Icemen, against his former team, on a power play in the first. Orlando’s Jonne Tammela kept the Solar Bears from heading scoreless into the first intermission, on his way to a hat trick. His third goal would be the game-winner for the Bears.
Garrett Ladd and Maxime Fortier each tallied a goal and two assists in the contest. Icemen goalie Mikhail Berdin made 22 saves in a losing effort.
