Brodzinski is also currently tied with Trevor Olson and Mathieu Foget for the team scoring lead against the Everblades this season with 10 points (2g-8a) in 10 games. His eight assists also leads Orlando against Florida.
WINDSOR TO START AGAIN: After turning in a 36-save performance against Atlanta on Thursday, Clint Windsor will once again get the nod in between the pipes tonight for the Solar Bears. Windsor previously picked up a victory against Florida this season, making 29 saves in Orlando's 7-2 win at Florida on March 1.
BOURKE CONTINUES HOT PLAY: Forward Troy Bourke enters tonight's game against Florida with a seven-game point streak (3g-12a). Bourke currently leads all ECHL players in scoring in the month of March with 19 points (4g-15a) in 10 games. His 15 assists for the month also lead all ECHL skaters.
