Florida Everblades News Release
PENSACOLA, FL - The Florida Everblades (47-20-4) used two third period goals to come-from-behind and earn a 2-1 win over the Pensacola Ice Pilots (21-43-7) on Friday night at the Pensacola Civic Center. The win allowed the Everblades to improve to 11-0-0 vs. Pensacola on the season.
After a scoreless first period, the Ice Pilots broke through to open the scoring when Bryson Busniuk tallied his ninth goal of the season at 7:33 of the second period by wristing a shot past Everblades Kevin Nastiuk from the right circle.
The Everblades however battled their way back into the game by out-shooting Pensacola 18-6 in frame, and notching two late goals. Brandon Coalter tallied the first of the night for the Everblades by deflecting a centering pass through the pads of Pensacola goaltender Dustin Traylen at 7:51. The Everblades collected the eventual game-winner from Dan Sisca, who notched his team-leading 29th goal of the season with 4:36 remaining in regulation.
Nastiuk earned the win to improve his record to 13-4-2 on the season by turning away 24of 25 Pensacola shots, while Traylen suffered the tough-luck loss after stopping 34 of 36 shots, many in spectacular fashion, to see his record drop to 12-11-2.
On the power play, the Everblades finished the night 0-for-7, while the Ice Pilots closed out the game 0-for-5.
