Recap
DEFEND THE DEN. 11 in a row at Giant Center! The 1st period started off very quickly. 61 seconds in, Hershey's Ryan Stoa scored his 10th of the season, from Nicolas Deschamps & Brandon Segal. However, in what has became the trademark occasionally for the Bears, it did take long for the Penguins to tie it up. At the 2:58 mark, Harry Zolnierczyk scored his 16th of the season, from Dominik Uher. 9 minutes later, Stoa was charged with interference. 43 seconds into the power play, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's Tom Kostopoulos scored his 18th of the season, from Simon Despres & Andrew Ebbett, to take a 2-1 lead. 41 seconds later, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's Tom Kuhnhackl was charged with roughing. 3 minutes later, at the 15:53 mark, the Penguins' Bobby Farnham was penalized with charging and unsportsmanlike conduct for disputing a decision. Hershey couldn't take advantage (which became a common theme for their power play), and at the 18:03 mark, Michael Latta was charged with tripping. At the 1st intermission, Hershey had a 12-9 shot advantage.
The 2nd period could be considered the penalty period. At the 5:42 mark, Harrison Ruopp was charged with boarding. At the 8:31 mark, a number of penalties occurred. For Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, there was Ruopp for fighting, and Pierre-Luc Letourneau-Leblond (that's one person) with a misconduct for continuing an altercation. For Hershey, there was Cameron Schilling for interference, Michael Latta for fighting, and Joel Rechlcz with a misconduct for continuing an altercation. About 4 minutes later, the Penguins' Anton Zlobin was charged for elbowing. Hershey couldn't take advantage, but at the 16:01 mark, the game was ted. Matt Watkins scored his 7th of the year, from Peter Leblanc & Michael Latta, to tie it at 2. At the end of the period, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's Nick Drazenovic was charged for tripping. At the 2nd intermission, Hershey had a 25-16 shot advantage.
At the start of the 3rd, Hershey had their 6th power play of the game, but couldn't capitalize once again. Then, at the 6:50 mark, the Bears were served a bench minor for too many men on the ice. 4 minutes later, a penalty shot was issued for Hershey's Dane Byers. He capitalized on it, scoring his 7th goal of the season, to give the Bears a 3-2 lead. Only 13 seconds later, Hershey's Cameron Schilling was charged for closing his hand on the puck. As the period went on, it looked like the Bears would hold on for their 11 straight home win. However, that was thought too soon at the time. At the 16:49 mark, the Penguins' Bobby Farnham scored his 3rd of the season, from Carter Rowney & Philip Samuelsson, to tie the game up at 3. At the intermission, Hershey continued its shot advantage, now at 31-27.
Hershey didn't take long in the overtime period to make sure that their home winning streak continued. 47 seconds into the period, Dustin Gazley scored his 6th of the season, from Matt Watkins & Tyson Strachan, to give the Bears the 4-3 victory! As that was the only shot of the period, the Bears won the shot advantage 32-27. After the All-Star Break, the Bears will have another 3-in-3 stretch of games. The first game will be at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City against the Albany Devils. Game time is at 7.
