ESTERO, Fla. – The Florida Everblades scored five goals in the second period to rout the Greenville Swamp Rabbits 5-0 on Wednesday.
 
Even though the first saw no goals, the Everblades had plenty of chances to open the scoring, leading the shot count 15-8 over the Swamp Rabbits. Kyle Betts also had a goal disallowed after it was ruled he knocked the puck down with a high stick.
 
The scoring started early in the second period, as Oliver Chau and Oliver Cooper scored 44 seconds apart from each other to give Florida a quick 2-0 lead. Chau’s net drive got him his second of the season, while Cooper’s rebound strike was his first goal with the Everblades.
 
Florida’s net-front success was continued with Jesse Lansdell’s fourth goal of the year making it 3-0 as he crashed the crease to get a greasy goal. Not long after, Craig Needham scored just seconds after being stymied on a breakaway, burying his third in a similar manner to Chau, before Carson Gicewicz rifled one in on the power play to make it 5-0 and give himself four markers this season. Throughout the second, the Blades put up a season-high 25 shots on goal and chased Greenville’s Isaiah Saville out of the crease.
 
The third saw the Swamp Rabbits pressure to get a goal, and they did have one called off after a review for goaltender interference. That goal was as close as Greenville would get to beating David Tendeck, who pitched a 31-save shutout in his first start for Florida this year.
 
The Everblades went 1/5 on the man advantage and kept Greenville off the board on all eight of their power play attempts. Florida faces a rematch against the Swamp Rabbits on Friday, November 14 at 7:05 p.m.
