Solar Bears home win streak ends at six

ORLANDO, Fla. – Joe Garreffa scored for the second straight game, but the Orlando Solar Bears (9-6-1-0) conceded two shorthanded goals to the Norfolk Admirals (8-6-0-1) en route to a 6-1 loss on Sunday afternoon at the AdventHealth Rink at Amway Center.

With the loss, Orlando’s franchise-best run of six consecutive wins on home ice to start the season comes to an end (Oct. 23-Nov. 27).

The Solar Bears fell behind 1-0 when Anthony Gagnon opened the scoring during Orlando’s first power play, and while Garreffa scored on the same man advantage sequence to tie the game, Noah Corson’s power-play goal at 14:33 of the first period put the visitors ahead for good. The Admirals added a pair of goals in each subsequent period to take the game.
