I would assume they'll come back after the Four Nations.

I have been really impressed with how much Howard's two way game has progressed. Also hoping Huuhty can come back from injury soon. Would like to see how he does in the NHL, even if just for a few games

Crunch come back down 4-1 to force OT but lose 5-4. Their record in OT is just terrible this season. Halverson started, but got pulled for Tomkins

- Crozier scores his 4th
- Carlile scored his 5th
- Finley with a goal, and an assist
- Geekie with the game tying goal
- First game back from injury for Gabriel Szturc since December

On paper with Geekie, Duke, and Goncalves back from Tampa this should be a tough team to beat. All that's missing is Huuhtanen.

This was a school day game. The Marlies do them multiple times a year, but we know how even afternoon games can be tough to get into. It's no excuse, but a slow start is about what I'd expect to happen.

Orlando has been playing OT games pretty much non-stop lately. Since 1/25, they've played 9 games. 6 of them have gone to OT. The Bears have been pretty good at them, at least. We're only playing games in our own division, so we're leaking points to opponents. Only in 1 of those 9 has it been more than a 1 goal game (difference).

I'm not sure if the recent scores are just a small sample size, or if there's a larger issue.

Orlando has adopted the concept of keeping possession of the puck in OT. Even a few weeks/months ago, they were about trading chances in OT, which isn't looking very effective these days.
