TONIGHT: The Orlando Solar Bears (5-3) continue the 2019 Playoffs, presented by XYMOPrint, as they host Game 4 of the South Division Finals against the Florida Everblades (6-3). Each game of the series has gone to overtime, with Florida taking Game 3 on Tuesday by a 3-2 score.

FRYE FINDING GROOVE: After missing Game 3 of the opening round, defenseman Zach Frye has been one of Orlando's top-performing defensemen. Since returning to the lineup, Frye has picked up three points (1g-2a) in five games, and has logged a +5 rating. He also leads Orlando in the second round with a +3.

NO LEAD IS SAFE: Both Orlando and Florida have identical 3-1 records in the 2019 postseason, further emphasizing the need for a full 60-minute effort in tonight's game. The Solar Bears are 4-1 in the playoffs when scoring first, while the Everblades are 3-2.

FEJES CONTINUES TO FIRE AWAY: Forward Hunter Fejes leads the Solar Bears in the playoffs with six goals through six games. His six goals are tied for second in the Eastern Conference, and of the Top 10 goal-scorers in the playoffs, Fejes possesses the fourth-best shooting percentage, scoring at a 22.2% clip on 27 shots.

DONAGHEY TO RETURN: After dressing in Game 1 of the opening round, defenseman Cody Donaghey missed Orlando's next seven games. The second-year pro will be back in the lineup tonight, and will be expected to provide an offensive presence from the back end. During the regular season, the blueliner set career-highs with 43 points (15g-28a) in 64 games, and matched Nolan Valleau's franchise record for power-play points by a defenseman with 17 (6g-11a).
