The crowd brought the country spirit, and the players brought the intensity.<\/p>\n<p>Orlando struck first in the opening period when\u00a0Reece Newkirk\u00a0buried a rebound off a rush from Tyler Bird, giving the Solar Bears an early lead.<\/p>\n<p>Savannah answered in the second period when\u00a0Ryan Sullivan\u00a0snapped home his first goal of the season from the high slot, giving the Ghost Pirates a spark that matched the energy of the crowd.<\/p>\n<p>In the third, Savannah pulled within one. On a shorthanded chance,\u00a0Nicholas Zabaneh\u00a0set up\u00a0Cole Krygier\u00a0for a left-side strike, making it 3\u20132 and bringing fans to their feet like it was a honky-tonk showdown.<\/p>\n<p>Despite a late surge and several strong looks at the net, the Ghost Pirates couldn\u2019t rope in the tying goal. Savannah showed plenty of grit fighting back after falling behind, piecing together a strong two-period push, killing off key penalties, and even netting a shorthanded tally. But Orlando\u2019s goaltending and defense held firm in the final minutes to secure the 3-2 win.<\/p>\n<p>Even though the comeback fell short, Savannah put on a battle worthy of Country Night full of heart, hustle, and a little Saturday-night swagger heading into their next game.<\/p>\n<p>Check out this photo gallery from Inside The Rink\u2019s Evelyn Jerden for highlights from the game.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ticketmaster.evyy.net\/c\/5142595\/410529\/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fnhl\" target=\"_top\" id=\"410529\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/4272-410529.jpeg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"468\" height=\"60\"\/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"0\" width=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/4272.gif\" style=\"position:absolute;visibility:hidden;\" border=\"0\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\tDiscover more from Inside The Rink<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px;font-size:15px\">Subscribe to get the latest posts sent to your email.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Evelyn Jerden for Inside The Rink SAVANNAH, Ga. \u2013 On Saturday, the Savannah Ghost Pirates hosted the Orlando&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":77033,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[43389,24664,43390,43391,43392,139,141,140,10208,324,43393,43394,24672],"class_list":["post-77032","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-orlando","tag-cole-krygier","tag-echl","tag-echl-photos","tag-game-photos","tag-nicholas-zabaneh","tag-orlando","tag-orlando-headlines","tag-orlando-news","tag-orlando-solar-bears","tag-photos","tag-reece-newkirk","tag-ryan-sullivan","tag-savannah-ghost-pirates"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77032","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=77032"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77032\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/77033"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=77032"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=77032"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=77032"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
