ESTERO, Fla. - The Florida Everblades and the South Carolina Stingrays go head-to-head once again on Saturday November 14 with a 7 p.m. puck drop. It’s Military Night at Hertz Arena presented by National Coalition for Patriots.
The Everblades are looking for a bounce back after losing their first game at home since March 28 going all the way back to last season. It was even further ago the last time Florida lost a game at home in regulation, dating back to January 28.
South Carolina pushed their road winning streak to four games on November 13 with a 4-3 victory at Hertz Arena.
Despite having a depleted lineup, the Everblades still fought hard throughout that game. Florida got contributions from two of the newest Everblades in Dalton Duhart and Ian McNulty. Ian McNulty had a beautiful assist on the opening goal of the game by Cole Moberg. Duhart scored the second goal of the game on the backhand to find his first tally of the season.
Also, Devon Paliani had two assists in the loss pushing his point streak up to three games. Paliani is now the sole Everblade who is over a point per game with his 11 points in 10 games.
The only other time Florida has lost a game this season was the first game against the Greenville Swamp Rabbits. The next day, the Everblades mounted a response, outshooting Greenville 39 to 21 and winning the game 2-0. The Blades will be pushing for an effort similar to that one as they look to respond to their second loss of the year.
In the South Division, the Everblades and Stingrays are tied with 16 points, although South Carolina has played one less game than Florida.
Florida will be looking to take advantage of power play opportunities in this game. After killing off both Florida man advantages on Friday, the South Carolina penalty kill on the road has still not given up a goal this season.
Following the conclusion of this weekend series, Florida will look ahead to a three-game week where they will face the Orlando Solar Bears and the Savannah Ghost Pirates here at Hertz Arena.
