Greenville Swamp Rabbits News Release


GREENVILLE, S.C. - The Florida Everblades rallied from down 2-0 in the third period to top the Greenville Swamp Rabbits in overtime by a 3-2 margin. Joey Haddad scored twice for Greenville in the first and third period for his 10th and team-leading 11th goals of the season.

Haddad's first goal came only 12:09 into the contest. Transitioning through neutral ice while shorthanded, Haddad blasted a bullet through Jake Hildebrand's five-hole to provide his club a 1-0 advantage. Shots after the first period were 15-12 in favor of the Everblades

After a scoreless middle frame, Greenville added to their lead with Haddad's second tally at 5:29. Immediately off an offensive zone faceoff, Jack Sadek from the left-wing fed Haddad across and fired the puck past Hildebrand from the right point.

Florida answered with a power play goal of their own from Joe Pendenza at 8:35 to cut their deficit to 2-1. Pendenza finished a perfect passing play on the backdoor from Colby Sissons.

In the final minute, Florida pulled Hildebrand for the extra-attacker and 6-on-5 advantage. At 19:44, Sissons tied the score on a drive from the right point through traffic past Jacob Ingham.

In 3-on-3 sudden-death overtime, Blake Winiecki found a soft spot in the high-slot and fired the game-winner top-self past the blocker of Ingham at 2:30.

Both teams will conclude a three-game set at Bon Secours Wellness Arena tomorrow, March 21 at 3:05 p.m. Ticket information is available online at swamprabbits.com.
