QUICK BITS

COMEBACK COMPLETE:

Matching up against the Everblades, the Swamp Rabbits struck first as Brett Kemp broke the scoreless tie just 49 seconds into the second frame, a power-play tally for his third of the season. Just minutes later, Florida tied the contest, sending the game to the third at 1-1. The Everblades capitalized on a late, double-minor penalty, scoring a goal inside of two minutes to play. With just 23 seconds left, Nikita Pavlychev buried a goal to force overtime. In extra minutes, Alex Ierullo gave the Swamp Rabbits the win, completing the comeback.

SCOUTING THE EVERBLADES:

Florida leans on Goaltender Cam Johnson, who holds a 4-1-1 record with a 0.926 save percentage. Johnson stopped 29 shots Saturday night against the Swamp Rabbits. Forward Cam Morrison leads the team in points (2g, 5a). Dominic Franco and Joe Pendeza each scored a goal on Saturday night, bring their point totals to five on the campaign. Former Swamp Rabbit Evan Fitzpatrick could earn a nod in goal for the Everblades, if Brad Ralph looks to change things up.

ALL ALEX:

Alex Ierullo is now tied for the team lead with 9 points (3-6-9) alongside linemate Nikita Pavlychev (6-3-9) after both posted big nights on Saturday. Ierullo picked up a power-play assist in the second, a helper on Pavlychev's game-tying goal, and netted the overtime winner early in OT. He enters tonight with 4 points in in two games and 9 points in his last 7 games. In 16 games between 21-22 and 22-23 for the Rabbits, Ierullo has recorded 15 points (4g, 11a).

PERFECT TIME TO SHINE:

Nikita Pavlychev has a flair for the dramatic, especially against the Everblades. The Swamp Rabbits centerman left just 23 seconds on the clock when he one-time the tying goal into the Everblades net on Saturday night. His last two goals against Florida have been the tying goal on Saturday and the 2OT winner in Game 5 of last season's Kelly Cup Playoffs. In his opening game against the Everblades last night, Pavlychev added an assist on Brett Kemp's opening goal in the second period.

DAVID WAS DUE:

Last night's victory was the first ECHL win for Swamp Rabbits goaltender David Hrenak. The Slovak earns a much-deserved win after a slow start in his first two games of the season, playing shutdown hockey in his last three appearances. Hrenak posted a .947 save-percentage in last night's game, denying 36 of 38 Florida shots. The latest performance comes amidst a three-game streak of posting above a .900 save-percentage after recording a combined .842 in his first two games.

WHAT'S ON TAP:

Following this afternoon's game, the Swamp Rabbits begin a road trip against the Adirondack Thunder, where they will look to capitalize on a team that has struggled over their first eight games, as they currently hold a 2-4-1-1 record through the first 8 games. The trip to New York kicks off a 5-game away slate including Worcester and Orlando.
