Recap
Four in a row! For how much the Sharks dominated the 1st and 3rd periods, the Bears should feel lucky to get this win (and be thanking their goaltending once again). The 1st period only had one event. Hershey's Jeff May (in his 1st game as a Bear) was charged with cross-checking. After the 1st, the Sharks had a 13-6 shot advantage.
The 2nd period had most of the scoring in regulation. 1:34 into the period, Worcester got the 1-0 lead. Chad Rau scored his 3rd of the season, from Rylan Schwartz & Adam Schmidt. Around 7 minutes later, Hershey tied it up. Caleb Herbert scored his 2nd goal of the season, from David Kolomatis & Jeff Taffe. After two professional games, Herbert has 2 goals & an assist. Less than a minute later, Worcester's Konrad Abeltshauser was charged with holding the stick. At the 12:22 mark, Hershey continued their strong period by taking the lead. Chay Genoway scored his 4th of the season, from Kris Newbury & Dane Byers. Hershey had the shot advantage in the period (13-10), but overall, Worcester had the advantage at 23-19.
In the 3rd, the entire period was dominated by the Sharks. 1:19 into the period, Hershey's David Kolomatis was charged with hooking. At the 11:26 mark, Hershey's Matt Watkins was charged with tripping. With all the chances the Sharks had, it was a matter of time before they tied it up. Philipp Grubauer tried to make sure the tying goal never happened, but with 35 seconds left, and Worcester with an extra attacker from the empty net, they tied it up. Dan DaSilva scored his 17th of the season, from Bracken Kearns & Ryan Carpenter. Worcester had the 35-22 shot advantage after the 3rd.
The overtime period featured back and forth action, but no shots until the shot that won it for the Bears. At the 2:49 mark, Casey Wellman scored his 17th of the season, from Dane Byers (2nd assist of the night). With that being the only shot of the overtime period, Worcester finished with a 35-23 shot advantage. Philipp Grubauer continued the Bears' recent goaltending excellence, making 33 saves on the night. Even though the Bears won, they stayed a point behind 8th place in the conference, as the Norfolk Admirals won as well tonight. The Bears will look to stretch their winning streak to five tomorrow night against the Bridgeport Sound Tigers. Game time is at 3.
