Recap
I got to see this game in person, so that's why the blog post is a little later than normal. It truly was a uneventful game for such a heated rivalry. However, that doesn't mean it wasn't important to get the win, and that's what the Bears did. The first period only had one event, and that was Hershey's Caleb Herbert getting charged with hooking. After the 1st, the shots were tied at 8. In the 2nd, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton controlled play for a good amount of the period, but neither team were able to get anything on their power play. A fight did break out in the period between Hershey's Nathan Walker and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's Josh Archibald. After the 2nd, the Pens had the 15-13 shot advantage.
In the 3rd, there were a few more penalties, and in that case, more chances to score. The Bears were finally able to get on the board with a power play goal at the 8:53 mark. Stanislav Galiev scored his 2nd of the season, from Connor Carrick & Tim Kennedy. Both teams continued to have chances, but it look like nothing would get past Philipp Grubauer. That would be proven wrong with 51 seconds to go. Brian Dumoulin scored his 2nd of the season, from Scott Wilson & Andrew Ebbett. Going into overtime, the shots were tied at 23. The overtime period has fast-paced action, but not a lot of good shots were able to be taken. The Bears finished with the 27-25 shot advantage. In the shootout, Hershey's Dustin Gazley and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's Jean-Sebastien Dea were able to score in the 2nd round. Hershey's Chris Brown in the 4th round, and Philipp Grubauer stopped Andrew Ebbett to win the game for the Bears.
Next Game: Saturday vs. Syracuse, 7:00
