DULUTH, Ga. - Coming off a dramatic 4-2 comeback win last night, the Gwinnett Gladiators (20-30-2-2) again host the Florida Everblades (27-19-2-4) for the second of five-straight matchups between the two teams. Last night, despite being outshot 22-5 through two periods, the Gladiators rallied for four unanswered goals to knock off Florida 4-2. Kurtis Bartliff, Joey Haddad, and Dirk Southern (x2) scored for Gwinnett, while Mark Guggenberger made 26 saves to pick up the win in his Gladiators debut.

Glads Notes:

Elite Everson: Rookie forward Marshall Everson went on a tear in February. Through 11 games last month, Everson averaged nearly a point per game, totaling six goals and four assists. He also has 18 points in his last 20 games dating back to January 10th.

You Can Kount on Kwiet: Since being acquired by the Gladiators from the Komets in mid-December, defenseman Rob Kwiet has heavily factored into Gwinnett's offense, especially as of late. Kwiet has a point in five of his last six games, and his 26 points on the season is tied for 12th best among defensemen in the ECHL.

Streaking Glads: Casey Pierro-Zabotel has two goals and eight assists in his last nine games ... Joey Haddad has scored a goal in three straight games ... Dirk Southern has three goals in his last three games ... Defenseman Daniel Spivak has finished a game with a minus in only 10 of his 48 games played this season, and hasn't gone below a minus-one. He leads the Gladiators with a plus-10 rating.

Feast or Famine: The Gladiators are 4-2 against Florida this season. In their four wins they are averaging 5.75 goals per game, but theywere shutout in their two losses. On the season Gwinnett is averaging 2.5 goals per game.

Milestones: Evan Bloodoff played in his 100th game in the ECHL and as a Gladiator last Saturday ... Dirk Southern is three assists away from 100 in the ECHL ... Daniel Spivak is one game away from his 100th professional match.
