Recap


The goals just keep on coming! This offense is high-powered, and it will be interesting to see if they can keep this up. This game didn't have as many penalties as the previous two games against Norfolk, but it still had its exciting moments. Around 2 minutes in, Hershey went on the power play, and they made sure they didn't waste the opportunity. Casey Wellman scored his 1st of the season, from Tim Kennedy & Kris Newbury. Later in the period, within a 2 minute window, 3 penalties were given out (2 to Hershey), but nothing came of those penalties. After the 1st, the Bears had the 13-8 shot advantage.


The 2nd period didn't have a whole lot going on, and everything that happened occurred between a window of a few minutes. Hershey couldn't capitalize on a penalty given to Springfield at the 5:16 mark. A little more than 30 seconds after a fight between Hershey's Steve Oleksy and Springfield's Ryan Craig, the lead was increased to two. Casey Wellman scored his 2nd goal of the season (and the night), from Kris Newbury (2nd assist of the night). After the 2nd, the Bears continued to have the shot advantage, now at 23-14.


At the 3:36 mark, during a power play, Springfield cut the lead in half to 2-1. Domenic Monardo scored his 2nd of the season, from Denny Urban & Sean Collins. A penalty was given out to Springfield 12 seconds later, but Hershey couldn't capitalize. Power plays were traded back-and-forth in the middle of the period (2 for Springfield, 1 for Hershey). 48 seconds after the final power play for Springfield, at the 13:51 mark, Hershey got an insurance goal. Philippe Cornet scored his 2nd of the season, from Caleb Herbert & Tim Kennedy (2nd assist of the night). With 20 seconds left in the game, Hershey got an empty netter to make it 4-1. Dustin Gazley got his 1st of the season, from Caleb Herbert (2nd assist of the night) & Steve Oleksy. Hershey finished with the 30-21 shot advantage (Philipp Grubauer got his 1st win of the season with 20 saves).
