Orlando had seven power plays in the game, including two extended five-on-threes. Florida only had one man advantage in the match.
Nick Lappin scored in the second period to send the teddy bears on to the ice in front of a sellout crowd of 7,450, but it would be the only goal the Everblades would get all night. It was Florida’s largest crowd of the season.
The loss ends a two-game winning streak for Florida and is their third loss against the Solar Bears this season. Orlando is the only team Florida has a negative record against so far this season.
