Tim Miller scored his third goal of the season 10:56 into the first period, knocking home a rebound on the backdoor to open the scoring and give the Gladiators a 1-0 lead. Assists on the play went to Adam Berti, his 20th of the year, and Matt Siddall.
The Everblades evened the score 4:41 later when an unfortunate bounce found the stick of Florida forward Ryan Lang all alone in the slot in front of Gwinnett net minder David Brown. Lang faked to the forehand then deposited a backhand shot over the glove of Brown to tie the score at one.
After the first 20 minutes, Gwinnett owned a 16-11 margin in shots on goal.
Florida took their first lead of the game on the power play 7:58 into the second period after Tim Filangieri went off for hooking at 6:15. A bouncing puck in the crease slipped past Brown and just across the goal line, making the score 2-1. Shea Guthrie was credited with the goal, and assists went to Brandon Buck and Matt Duffy.
Tempers flared soon after Floridaâ
