The Solar Bears outlasted a persistent Stingrays group Thursday at Kia Center.

Alex Fortin tallied the game-winning goal against his former team. Ben Carroll and Alex Frye also recorded multi-point efforts for the Bears.

Saturday, December 30 at South Carolina: 9-1 W

The much anticipated rematch Saturday night in Lowcountry did not disappoint as the Bears trounced the Stingrays, 9-1. Veteran forward Brayden Low took over the game with his first period hat trick and added another in the second period. The Solar Bears had eight players who recorded multi-point efforts, including rookie defenseman Jeremie Biakabutuka, who recorded a career-high, three points. Colten Ellis stopped 39 shots in the game for his 10th victory of the season. Orlando's nine goals was the most scored in a single-game this season.

Low became the first Solar Bear player to score four goals in a single game since Mickey Lang against the Stingrays on February 11, 2014. Low becomes the fourth Solar Bear to score four points in a single game this season. (Mazza - 11/10 at SAV, Hoelscher - 12/16 at FLA, Schachle - 12/22 at GRN)

Colten Ellis has won nine of his last 10 starts dating back to Nov. 18. Ellis has not allowed more than one goal in a start that he has won since Nov. 27 (3GA - 37 saves)
