Florida continues to receive consistent production form defenseman Mike Little who is currently riding a seven-game point scoring streak.  Little has posted nine points (2g, 7a) during this current streak which began back on November 1.  After making 26 saves in last night’s game to help lead the ‘Blades to a 6-4 win, Allen York has now won his last seven starts.  York will once again get the start in net for the Everblades tonight.
