Late in the middle frame, Litte set up the ‘Blades second goal.  Little fired a shot from the point that was tipped and redirected into the net by Mitch Wahl to extend the Florida lead to 2-0.

In the third, Andy Iles continued to leave the Cyclones spinning, turning aside every shot that came his way.

The Everblades tacked on an empty net goal from Alex Lavoie to secure the 3-0 victory.   The game marked the sixth time the Everblades have shutout an opponent this season.

Iles earned his second career shutout stopping all 25 shots faced.  Madore was sharp, but takes the loss allowing two goals on 30 shots faced.
