Solar Bears can't solve Lethemon in 1-0 loss to Swamp Rabbits

ORLANDO, Fla. —  Goaltender John Lethemon had an answer for everything the Orlando Solar Bears (30-22-5-1) sent his way tonight, as Orlando fell to the Greenville Swamp Rabbits (29-17-11-3) by a 1-0 score on Monday night at the AdventHealth Rink at Amway Center. Lethemon made 26 saves for the shutout for Greenville, while Solar Bears netminder Clint Windsor took the loss with 28 stops on 29 shots against.

The Solar Bears notably battled through a second period that was marked by a five-minute power play awarded to Greenville after Luke McInnis received a major penalty for boarding and a game misconduct at 6:46; Orlando successfully killed off the five-minute power play awarded to the Swamp Rabbits.
