The game’s opening goal came shortly after the Swamp Rabbits’ power-play unit came away empty-handed from its opening chance, as Florida’s Zach Solow took a stretched pass and wrapped around the Greenville net for the 1-0 lead at 4:22.
Greenville was awarded a 4-on-3 power-play in the second and converted for the tying goal, as Alec Rauhauser fed Liam Pecararo. The latter fired a one-timer into the net at the 2:26 mark. A later-period power-play chance for Florida saw Matteo Gennaro regain the Everblades lead with his third goal of the series at the 16:34 mark.
THIRD PERIOD
The third period saw the Swamp Rabbits generate eight shots from a power-play and a 6-on-5 scenario, but the Everblades held onto the one-goal advantage at the final horn.
With the loss, the Swamp Rabbits fall behind 3-1 in the best-of-seven series to the Everblades.
The Swamp Rabbits and the Everblades return to the ice on Saturday night at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Game 5 at 7:05 p.m.
