LANGAN BREAKING THROUGH: After going without a goal in his first seven games, Tristin Langan finally buried his first of the season in Friday's game against Florida. The rookie forward is coming off a junior season in which he tied for the Western Hockey League goal-scoring lead with 53 goals and finished second in overall scoring with 113 points. He has two points (1g-1a) in four games against the Everblades and leads Orlando in plus-minus in the series with a +3.
SCOUTING THE OPPONENT: The Everblades saw their three-game win streak snapped over the weekend in a 4-3 loss to Jacksonville on Saturday. The Solar Bears have held Florida to 0-for-11 on the power play. Florida has a 7-2-0-0 record when outshooting its opponents and ranks fifth in the ECHL by averaging 34.82 shots per game.
