Recap
3 losses in a row. With how much this team has been winning lately, this game was a tough one to lose. At the 2:38 mark, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton got the scoring started. Mike Carman scored his 6th of the season, from Bobby Farnham & Pierre-Luc Letourneau-Leblond. 18 seconds later, the Penguins' Spencer Machacek was charged for slashing. Towards the end of that power play, Hershey's Julien Brouillette was charged with holding. At the 12:10 mark, Pierre-Luc Letourneau-Leblond was charged with goaltender interference. Hershey took advantage of that power play. Dane Byers scored his 9th of the season, from Ryan Potulny & Julien Brouillette. About a minute later, Spencer Machacek received another penalty, this time for tripping. A couple seconds after that power play expired, Hershey took the 2-1 lead. Casey Wellman scored his 14th of the season, from Peter LeBlanc. The shot advantage was tied at 6 after the 1st.
The 2nd period had much less happening than either the 1st or 3rd periods did. At the 6:16 mark, Patrick Wey was charged with closing his hand on the puck. 3 minutes later, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton tied it up. Bobby Farnham scored his 5th goal of the season (2nd point of the night), from Pierre-Luc Letourneau-Leblond (2nd point of the night) & Andrew Ebbett. At the 14:15 mark, the Penguins' Dominik Uher was charged with kneeing. To finish off the period, at the 16:13 mark, Hershey's Julien Brouillette was charged with slashing. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton took hold of the shot advantage in this period to make it 20-10.
It's been quite a while since I've seen this much scoring in a period. 28 seconds into the period, the Bears took a 3-2 lead. Dane Byers scored his 10th of the season (2nd goal of the game), from Patrick Wey. 3 minutes later, the Penguins' Pierre-Luc Letourneau-Leblond was charged with goaltender interference for the 2nd time in the game. However, it would be Wilkes-Barre/Scranton that would score shorthanded on this power play. Brendan Mikkelson scored his 5th of the season, from Jayson Megna & Dominik Uher, to tie the game at 3. 2 minutes later, Hershey got the penalty that would change the game completely.
Dustin Gazley was charged with a double minor for high-sticking. The Penguins would then score 2 goals within 23 seconds. The first one was Andrew Ebbett's 9th goal of the season (2nd point of the night), from Nick Drazenovic & Brendan Mikkelson (2nd point of the night). The second one was Spencer Machacek's 14th goal of the season, from Tom Kostopoulos & Nick Drazenovic (2nd point of the night). However, around 2 minutes later, Hershey showed they weren't done. Jeff Taffe scored his 16th of the season, from Ryan Potulny (2nd point of the night), to make it 5-4. Eric Hartzell, the goalie for the Penguins, was taken out at this point for Jeff Deslauriers. 2 minutes later, the Penguins made it 6-4. Spencer Machacek scored his 15th of the season (2nd goal of the night), from Andrew Ebbett (2nd point of the night) & Philip Samuelsson. Only 30 seconds later, at the 12:54 mark, Hershey made it 6-5. Nicolas Deschamps scored his 13th of the season, from Stanislav Galiev & Ryan Stoa. 4 seconds later, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's Barry Goers was charged with delay of game, but the Bears couldn't take advantage. The Penguins finished the game with a 29-20 shot advantage. Hershey will look to break their losing streak on Friday, against the Hartford Wolf Pack. Game time is at 7.
