Friday night, the Orlando Solar Bears picked up a second win in their series against the Brampton Beast. The game play and energy of the team was stronger than in Thursday's win, where their possession game and scoring chances peaked in the first period, then stagnated. On Friday there was high energy through all three periods; the team even increasing their momentum as the game went on.
The Beast kicked off scoring in the first period. Nick McParland put the puck past Bears' goalie Rob Madore, despite being short-handed. The Solar Bears responded less than two minutes later on their next power play opportunity.
