Matchup:

The Solar Bears continue their five-game road trip against the Las Vegas Wranglers, looking to snap out of a four-game losing skid. After back-to-back 1-0 losses to Gwinnett, Orlando struck with 2.5 seconds left on the clock against Ontario on Wednesday night. The late-period goal was enough to cool off a red hot Ontario squad, as the Orlando fell by an eventual 6-2 score. The Wranglers were in action last night, needing extra time to a solve a contest that went past regulation locked in a 5-5 score. Only 46 seconds were needed in the extra frame, as C Eric Lampe lifted Las Vegas to a 6-5 victory over the San Francisco Bulls.
