After the Solar Bears finished the first period tied 1-1, Orlando pulled ahead with a pair of goals in the second frame as Tye Felhaber scored for the third consecutive game, and Aaron Luchuk netted his first of two goals for the evening to make it 3-1.
The two teams combined for seven goals in the third period, as Luchuk scored again for Orlando. Tyler Bird added the eventual game-winner, while Luke McInnis and Shawn Element also tallied for the Solar Bears in a four-goal third period that matched a season-high.
As a result of the win and a Greenville victory over Rapid City, Orlando (.522, three games remaining) remains in fifth place behind the Swamp Rabbits (.523, six games remaining) in the South Division, with a Magic Number of nine points (combined points earned by Orlando and/or lost by Greenville) needed to qualify for the 2022 Kelly Cup Playoffs.
The Solar Bears return to action when they close out their regular season home schedule against the Jacksonville Icemen on Tuesday, April 12 at 7 p.m. at the AdventHealth Rink at Amway Center.
