Orlando Solar Bears News Release
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Corey Kalk scored twice while Mathieu Foget and Jonne Tammela each contributed a goal and an assist as the Orlando Solar Bears (12-9-2-0) doubled up the Jacksonville Icemen (13-10-1-0) on Wednesday night at Veterans Memorial Arena.
Both teams played through a scoreless first period, with both Martin Ouellette and Ken Appleby each making eight saves for their respective clubs.
Jacksonville's Nikita Korostelev opened the scoring in the second period with a goal just 2:38 into the middle frame.
Orlando tied the score at 1-1 when Brady Shaw chipped the puck out of the defensive zone to Tammela, who drove up the right wing and cut to the net before depositing the puck behind Appleby at 7:39 for his third goal of the season.
The Solar Bears were then awarded a late power play, and took the lead after Foget dished the puck from the behind the goal line to the left side of the net, where Kalk banked a shot past Appleby for his third goal of the season at 19:09.
Foget added a goal of his own in the third period to extend Orlando's lead to 3-1, as he slid Rob Mann's pass from the right point inside the left post at 8:13.
Jacksonville's Dajon Mingo brought the home team back to within a goal at 14:04.
Kalk capped the scoring with his second of the evening after Kris Newbury coughed the puck up in the Icemen zone, allowing Tammela to drop a pass for Kalk, who then dangled past a defender before snapping a shot past Appleby at 17:47.
Ouellette picked up the win with 29 saves on 31 shots against for his seventh win of the season with Orlando and his 100th career pro victory; Appleby took the loss with 22 stops on 26 shots against.
NOTABLES
Foget's two-point night gives him a three-game point streak (3g-2a).
