Saturday’s tilt is slated for a 7:00 p.m. puck drop.With three of their top seven leading scorers from a season ago, including Blake Winiecki who led the team with 70 points (33G-37A) in 68 games, the Blades will need to find the back of the net earlier in tonight’s contest.

In games on the road at Gas South Arena last season, Florida posted a 3-3-0-0 record against Atlanta.
