ESTERO, Fla. – The Florida Everblades look to remain red hot, carrying a seven-game winning streak into Saturday night’s series finale against the Tahoe Knight Monsters.

Friday night’s 4-1 victory marked the second straight game in which the Everblades hung a four spot on the Knight Monsters, as four different goal scorers tickled the twine for the second-straight game against the ECHL’s newest team.

Isaac Nurse joined Alex Kile enter Saturday night’s tilt with goals in both of the series’ first two games, while Kyle Betts and Carson Gicewicz come into the final game of the series off two-assist performances in Friday’s victory.

Goaltender Cam Johnson, who was 1:53 away from posting an ECHL-high sixth shutout of the year on Friday, leads the ECHL with 27 win. That toal matches his career-best regular-season total with the Everblades, equaling his win tally from a year ago. Johnson also posted 27 victories in 2023-24, winning 26 games with the Blades and adding one with the AHL’s Charlotte Checkers.

The Everblades’ seven-game winning streak is the team’s longest in the regular season since the Blades rattled off nine straight victories from February 6-27, 2021. During that calendar month, Florida earned points in each of their 11 games, posting a 9-0-0-2 record. Of course, the Everblades won eight straight games in the 2022 Kelly Cup Playoffs and also turned in six-game winning streaks in the 2023 and 2024 Kelly Cup Playoffs, taking home the ECHL title three straight seasons.

Saturday’s series finale with Tahoe is a final tuneup before the South Carolina Stingrays skate into The Swamp to open a critical South Division set with the Everblades on Wednesday, February 26 at 7:30 p.m. The Stingrays are in the middle of a tight race for second place in the South Division with Jacksonville and Orlando. South Carolina will also be in town on Friday, February 28 and Saturday, March 1 at 7:30 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. respectively. Visit floridaeverblades.com for more information and to purchase tickets.
