The Greenville Swamp Rabbits started a road swing starting in Atlanta on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and ended in the Sunshine State with back-to-back games with the Florida Everblades and the Orlando Solar Bears.

Monday's game was, in a word, wild. The Swamp Rabbits fell behind 2-0 in the opening 2:23 of the game, but rallied back to have the game tied at three after one period, and have a 6-5 lead after two periods of play. Mason Baptista did the heavy lifting offensively with a hat trick.

However, Tommy Marchin responded with a hat trick of his own, including the tying goal at the 11:23 mark of the third period, to send the game to overtime. Cue Kamerin Nault. A three-on-one break began as Dylan MacPherson rushed the puck up ice, and Nault finished the pass and converted to give Greenville the win.

The move down to Florida saw the Swamp Rabbits lose the offensive mojo. While outshooting the Everblades 32-27, Greenville was unable to get past two early, deflating goals that set them back out of the first period against one of the better defensive teams in the league.

Friday marked the Greenville debut of John Furgele, who posted five shots on goal, which tied the team lead.

Just over 12 hours after the conclusion of the game in Estero, the Swamp Rabbits hit the ice again to take on the Orlando Solar Bears, just behind them in the standings. Without starting goaltender Zach Fucale, who was on recall, the Solar Bears went with Clint Windsor, who entered the game with three shutouts.

Windsor made 28 saves and outdueled the debut of Swamp Rabbits goaltender Jake Theut, who made 40 saves and posted a .930 save percentage in his first ECHL game.

1/20 at Atlanta Gladiators - W 7-6

1/24 at Florida Everblades - L 4-0

1/25 at Orlando Solar Bears - L 3-0
