LAST TIME OUT:

Last night, Joey Haddad scored in the first and third period, but the Florida Everblades erased a 2-0 deficit in the final frame and topped Greenville in overtime, 3-2. At 8:35 of the third period, Joe Pendenza grabbed his 10th goal of the campaign after finishing a backdoor feed across from Colby Sissons. In the final minute and Jake Hildebrand pulled from the Blades net for the extra attacker, Sissons scored on a blast from the right point. At 19:44, Sissons' third goal of the season sent the contest to sudden-death overtime. At 2:30 of the extra sessions, Blake Winiecki found a soft spot between the circles and roofed the puck past Jacob Ingham for the overtime game-winner.
