Recap


Another brilliant game for Philipp Grubauer, and this time, it was a win. He made some spectacular saves through the entire game, and Hershey just did enough to help him. The tension in the game started off early with a fight 55 seconds in between Hershey's Dane Byers & Worcester's Taylor Doherty. Hershey would receive two penalties in the period along with the fight, but the penalty kill continued its great success on them. At the 16:38 mark, Hershey got on the board. Chris Brown scored his 3rd of the season, from Tomas Kundratek & Chandler Stephenson. After the 1st, the Sharks had the 11-8 shot advantage.


The 2nd, even though there weren't many penalties to show for it, became a little chippy. Due to that, there wasn't a great number of chances, but when there was, Grubauer made sure to keep his clean sheet. After one of his great saves, a fight broke out between Hershey's Steve Oleksy & Worcester's Jimmy Bonneau. After that period, the Sharks had the 19-14 shot advantage. In the 3rd, with one penalty given out to each team, there was the chance for scoring, especially on the Sharks' end. They doubled their shot total in one period to 38, but Grubauer saved every single one of them. Hershey finished with 20 shots.
