ROTH’S THREE-POINT NIGHT LEADS EVERBLADES TO COMEBACK WIN

ESTERO, Fla. – Kobe Roth had two goals and an assist to lead the Florida Everblades to a 5-3 win over the Orlando Solar Bears Wednesday night.

Florida scored three goals in the final five minutes of the game to come from behind and pick up the win. It was Florida’s first win while trailing in the third period this season.

Florida had their power play rolling in the match – Roth and Jake Smith scored when up a man, the fourth time Florida has scored multiple power play goals in a game.

Blake Winiecki and Nolan Kneen also scored goals for Florida, while Joe Pendenza stretched his home assist streak to seven games.

Florida now stands 2-1-0-0 on their current homestand, which ends Friday night against the Jacksonville Icemen.
