Recap

That was a rough one to watch. Only around 3 minutes into the 1st period, Adirondack's Tyler Brown scored his 1st goal of the season, from Marc-Andre Bourdon & Kyle Flanagan, to make it 1-0 in favor of the home team. Only 4 minutes later, Tye McGinn scored his 12th of the season, from Kris Newbury & Jason Akeson, to increase their lead to 2-0. Marc-Andre Bourdon was called for hooking at the 11:17 mark, but Hershey couldn't capitalize (which became a theme in this game). With under 3 minutes left, Hershey came back a bit with Matt Watkins' 6th goal of the season, from Ryan Potulny and Dane Byers. Towards the end of the period, Bruno Gervais was penalized for slashing, which gave the Bears a power play at the start of the 2nd. Even though Adirondack dominated a good amount of the period, Hershey had a 13-6 shot advantage.

The 2nd period had much to talk about...in the penalty aspect. At 2:56, Nick Cousins was charged with a holding penalty. Right towards the end of that power play, Kris Newbury was given a double minor for tripping and unsportsmanlike conduct. That gave the Bears 4 more minutes on the power play, but they couldn't score on it. At the 8:49 mark, Cameron Schilling was penalized for holding, which gave Adirondack their 1st power play (which they didn't score on). With a little over 5 minutes left, each team received penalties. For Hershey, Ryan Stoa got charged with tripping and roughing, while for Adirondack, Kris Newbury got charged with roughing. No goals were scored on that power play, so the period was scoreless. Hershey had a 19-14 shot advantage, but was still down 2-1.

Going into the 3rd period, the Bears needed to get more chances to score. However, it became Adirondack's chances to score. At the 5:12 mark, Nicolas Deschamps got called for tripping. Only 17 seconds later, Adirondack's Ben Holmstrom scored his 9th goal of the season on said power play, from Tye McGinn & Kris Newbury (2nd assist of the game). Only 3 minutes later, Adirondack's Jason Akeson scored his 16th of the season, from Tye McGinn (2nd assist of the game) and Oliver Lauridsen, to make it 4-1 in favor of the Phantoms. Towards the end of the game, it got a little chippy. Hershey's Derek Whitmore and Adirondack's Oliver Lauridsen were charged 5 minutes for fighting at the 16:34 mark, and Adirondack's Chris VandeVelde got a penalty for tripping at the 18:40 mark. Adirondack outshot Hershey 17-10 in that period, to give them the 31-29 advantage. Hershey's power play unit was shut out, which was the key in this game. Hershey, whose 6-game winning streak was snapped, will travel back to the Giant Center for an early game tomorrow against the Norfolk Admirals. Game time is at 2.
