WINQUIST SETS SIGHTS ON FRANCHISE POINTS STREAK MARK: With two assists on Wednesday at Jacksonville, Joshua Winquist claimed his stake to the longest assist streak in team history at eight games (12a) – he still has five more games to go to match the longest points streak in team history, currently shared by Greg Miller and Denver Manderson.

POSPISIL TAKEN OFF IR: Rookie forward Kristian Pospisil could make his home debut for Orlando tonight after being removed from the injured reserve. Posipisil had been sidelined since sustaining an injury in Orlando’s 4-3 overtime win at Allen on Oct. 22. At the time of his injury, the Toronto Marlies-contracted winger had recorded three goals on only six shots to lead the ECHL in shooting percentage (50%).

NELSON TRADED TO KOMETS: The Solar Bears have traded forward Logan Nelson to the Fort Wayne Komets in exchange for future considerations; Nelson appeared in seven games for Orlando and recorded three assists and two penalty minutes after being acquired from the Norfolk Admirals.
