ESTERO, Fla. - The Florida Everblades start a three-game set against the Savannah Ghost Pirates Wednesday, March 25 at 7:30 p.m.
The Everblades are coming off their biggest win of the season, crushing the Orlando Solar Bears 9-2 on Saturday. Sam Stange led the way with four goals, while Oliver Cooper registered the Blades' first Gordie Howe hat trick of the season. Florida has now won seven consecutive home games, tying their season high.
Savannah enters action tonight having lost five of their last six matchups and seeing their hold on the final playoff spot in the South Division shrink down to just four points.

Tonight's game marks the start of a nine-game road trip for Savannah.
Florida is 5-2-0-0 against Savannah this season, including winning both of the prior matchups at Hertz Arena. Hudson Elynuik leads the Blades with five goals and an assist in the season series, while Jordan Sambrook and Jesse Lansdell each have six assists.
