Friday night’s contest wen the way of the hosts. Gaul scored his first of the season at 10:06 with help from Brett Cameron. Vitek Vanecek conceded his lone goal to Eric Faille in the last six minutes of regulation. Overtime solved nothing but Joe Devin solved Rob Maddore in the shootout. All three of Orlando’s shooters missed on Vanecek and the Stingrays skated to a 2-1 victory.
Vanecek held down the fort on Saturday as well, only allowing one goal on 24 shots. At 5:02 of the second period, 34 penalty minutes were doled out when Mark Louis and Marcus Perrier fought as well as Brad Richard and Bobby Shea.
