ORLANDO, Fla. - Behind a combined seven points from the line of Joe Carroll (1G-2A), Maxim Cajkovic (2G,1A), and Mathieu Foget (1A), the Orlando Solar Bears topped the defending Kelly Cup Champion Florida Everblades Saturday night at the Amway Center by a 4-3 score.
Orlando struck first on a shorthanded breakaway goal from rookie Joe Carroll for his sixth goal of the season. The Solar Bears held that 1-0 lead through the first period.
In the second after the Everblades tied the game, Maxim Cajkovic took over scoring two goals in a span of 5:05 to give Orlando a 3-1 lead.
The Everblades answered with a shorthanded goal of their own at 15:59 to make it 3-2 Orlando heading into the break.
With the Florida net empty, the Everblades tied the game with 1:42 remaining in the third period.
In overtime, Cajkovic stole the puck in the Everblades zone and found Tristan Langan, who one-touched the puck back to Jack Dougherty for his first goal of the season. His game-winning goal came at 45 seconds of overtime. With the win, the Solar Bears snapped a five-game winless streak.
