SHAW CONTINUING STRONG TWO-WAY PLAY: Brady Shaw's overtime winner on Saturday gave Orlando it's league-leading fourth overtime win this season and his team-leading 11th goal, but equally impressive is the forward's defensive play, when measured by plus-minus. The second-year pro has recorded back-to-back games of +3, and his season total of +7 is tied for second among the team's forwards.

OLSON AND FITZE BACK IN: The Solar Bears have added some size and youth into today's lineup, as Dylan Fitze and Trevor Olson are expected to make their return after sitting out the previous three games. The pair of rookie forwards are both listed at 6-foot-2 and have an identical stat line of three points (2g-1a) on the season.

STEWART EXPECTED TO GET START: Goalie Hayden Stewart is expected to get his third start of the season this afternoon for the Solar Bears. The rookie netminder leads all Orlando goalies this season with a 2.70 goals-against average and a .913 save percentage. He is coming off back-to-back 31-save performances against Worcester and South Carolina.
