TONIGHT: The Orlando Solar Bears (2-1) continue the 2019 Playoffs, presented by XYMOPrint, with Game 4 of the best-of-seven South Division Semifinals against the South Carolina Stingrays (1-2). The Solar Bears are coming off the longest playoff game in franchise history on Wednesday, when Hunter Fejes scored at 10:23 of the second overtime to give Orlando a 4-3 victory in Game 3.

HULTS ADDS TO TOTALS: The Solar Bears became the first team in the series to score a goal in the first period when Mitch Hults lit the lamp for Orlando on Wednesday. The forward notched his third goal of the playoffs, which currently leads the Solar Bears and is tied with Tulsa's Stephen Perfetto and Utah's Josh Dickinson for the league lead.

FRYE TO RETURN: Defenseman Zach Frye will be back in the lineup tonight after sitting out of Game 3 on Wednesday. The blueliner chipped in an assist in Orlando's 3-2 win in Game 2 last Friday, and brings a solid two-way game to the back end. Orlando went 16-7-1-1 with Frye in the lineup during the regular season and 9-3-1-0 when he earned at least a point.

KUQALI ENJOYING SURGE IN OFFENSIVE PLAY: Defenseman Alexander Kuqali's three-assist game on Wednesday matched the franchise playoff single-game record for assists and points. Kuqali has been playing a strong two-way game for the Solar Bears, and leads the team in scoring with six points (2g-4a) in six combined regular season and playoff games since April 4. His +4 also is tied with Troy Bourke and Chris LeBlanc for the team lead over that span of time.

NEXT GAME:

The South Division Semifinals between Orlando and South Carolina resumes with Game 5 on Saturday, April 20 when the two teams take the ice at 7:05 p.m. at North Charleston Coliseum.
