Florida Everblades News Release


ESTERO, Fla. - The Florida Everblades continue a season-high five-game stretch on the road with their final non-conference road games of the season this week, as they prepare for tilts against the Kalamazoo Wings and Indy Fuel.

LAST WEEK'S RESULTS

Jan. 7 | vs. Brampton Beast - L, 2-8

Brampton's Nathan Todd recorded a hat trick and finished with four points, as Brampton halted Florida's season-high six-game winning streak. Florida received goals from Michael Neville and Justin Auger in its first loss since Dec. 20.

Jan. 10 | at Greenville Swamp Rabbits - L, 2-6

Trailing by just one goal at the start of the third period, Florida allowed a season-high four goals in the third frame in its first loss in Greenville this season. The Swamp Rabbits Dylan MacPherson scored only 40 seconds into the third on what proved to be the game-winning goal.

Jan. 11 | at South Carolina Stingrays - L, 1-4

The Everblades rifled off 42 shots, but South Carolina goaltender Logan Thompson made 41 saves to help the Stingrays halt a three-game winless skid against Florida. Joe Pendenza netted his fifth goal of the season in the setback.
