LAST WEEK'S GAME:
Tuesday, November 26 vs Savannah Ghost Pirates: 5-2 W
The Solar Bears snapped a five-game skid at home with a four-goal outburst in the third period, leading to a 5-2 win on home ice, Tuesday. Jaydon Dureau scored two goals and Jarrett Lee tallied two assists, while Brayden Low scored his 100th ECHL goal, which proved to be the game-winner.
Friday, November 29 vs Jacksonville Icemen: 1-2 OTL
Jimmy Mazza broke the goose egg early in the third period with the underwear toss goal for the second straight season, but Orlando couldn't hang on to the slim lead. Davis Koch tied the game for Jacksonville and in overtime defenseman Noah Laaouan just barely fit the puck between Alexis Gravel's pads.
Sunday, December 1 vs South Carolina Stingrays : 1-5 L
The Solar Bears got off to a hot start in the opening frame Sunday scoring the first goal courtesy of Spencer Kersten and getting many chances after that to extend their lead. Garin Bjorklund of the Stingrays stood tall and allowed the Rays to tie it up in the first. That led to five unanswered by the Stingrays en route to a 5-1 decision.
