PEDERSEN, SIIRO CARRY STREAKS INTO TONIGHT: With points in both games, Brent Pedersen (1g-2a) and Ryan Siiro (1g-2a) each carry point streaks into the final game of the preseason. Both are expected to dress tonight.

MORE SHOTS FROM “THE HOUSE” PACING OFFENSE: As Friday’s game went on, the Solar Bears appeared to settle into an offensive groove. After being forced to the perimeter of the offensive zone for much of the first period, Orlando seized the opportunity in the second and third frames, picking up 14 shots from in front of the net and between the face-off dots.

KELLEY’S TURN: After Corbin Boes got the start on Friday for the Solar Bears, fellow rookie netminder Dillon Kelley is expected to get the nod in net tonight for Orlando. The goalie is in camp on a tryout with Orlando after making his pro debut with the Norfolk Admirals last spring, following his graduation from Adrian College.
