FOGET PICKING UP PACE: Over the last four weeks, Mathieu Foget has found his scoring touch to establish a hold on the team points lead. Over his last 10 games, the rookie forward has tallied 11 points (4g-7a), including the lone goal for Orlando in Friday's game against Newfoundland.
NEXT GAMES: The Solar Bears conclude their series with the Newfoundland Growlers at Mile One Centre tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 p.m. EST.
