Kaskisuo ready to earn his time in Orlando

Kasimir Kaskisuo has worn four different jerseys in the past six months, but with any luck, he'll wear the purple of Orlando long into Kelly Cup playoffs. He arrived in Orlando on Thursday, just two days before getting the nod for the season opener. "I'm already 23 and kind of been around hockey a lot," Kaskisuo said after the game, "So you kind of have to be ready for that. It's not as bad as same day travel and getting here and playing. Of course you're used to that and you're trying to be a professional about it."

Despite losing 3-2 to in-state rivals the Florida Everblades, Kaskisuo saved 34 of 37 shots, one from an Everblades powerplay.
