"But even without starting defenseman David Fischer, who left the team late Monday to tend to his ailing mother in Minnesota, the Blades found a way to overpower the Las Vegas Wranglers, winning 3-1. The victory puts the Everblades on the verge of winning the Kelly Cup championship for the first time in the team’s 14-year history. Florida now leads the best-of-seven Kelly Cup Finals 3-1 and can clinch the title tonight [Wednesday] in Game 5 at Germain Arena."
