Szmatula leads the Icemen in scoring against Orlando with 14 points (6g, 8a)....Goaltender Kyle Keyser is expected to start in goal this evening.
About the Solar Bears: Aaron Luchuk continues to lead the league in scoring with 74 points. Luchuk enters tonight's game riding a five-game points streak....The Solar Bears are ranked second on the penalty kill on the road at 86.2 percent (106-for-123)
