Matchup:

Orlando looks to bounce back from a pair of losses this weekend as they continue with game three of their six-game road trip this afternoon in Trenton. Orlando put together a strong game last night in Reading, trading goals through the few two periods to trail 4-3 going into the third. However, the Royals were able to lock down defensively in the game's final frame, scoring an empty net goal with 3.2 seconds left in regulation to sink the Solar Bears by a 5-3 score. Trenton was in action against the Elmira Jackals last night, leading 4-2 past the midway point of the third period. Elmira scored twice in the last eight minutes to force overtime, where they took down the Titans with a goal 3:51 into the extra frame.
