The 2018-19 ECHL regular season is down to its final few weeks, and every game is becoming crucial for the Orlando Solar Bears as they get into playoff position. The team was put to the test this week. They took on the second best in the ECHL—and the only team ahead of them in the South Division—the Florida Everblades. With a retooled lineup thanks to two AHL returnees, and despite losing their #1 goaltender to callup, Orlando responded with two out of three wins for the week.
The first of three between the in-state rivals kicked off Wednesday night at the Amway Center.
