Recap


What a great performance by Justin Peters in his first game of his conditioning stint. The offense fed off the performance, and put forth one of their best games of the season as well. Hershey's top line was on fire in tonight's game, as they led to most of the goals for the Bears. At the 7:44 mark of the 1st, Hershey got their first goal. Chris Brown scored his 9th of the season, from Chris Conner & Steve Oleksy. Only 1:03 later, the Bears made it 2-0. Stanislav Galiev scored his 11th of the season, from Connor Carrick & Tomas Kundratek. After the 1st, the shots were tied at 8.


In the 2nd, each team would receive two penalties against them. The 2nd penalty against the Bears stopped a shorthanded goal that would have been for Chandler Stephenson. The Bears were able to overcome the 5-on-3, and they were able to cause Albany to be on the penalty kill going into the 3rd. After the 2nd, the Devils had the 17-13 shot advantage. Right in the beginning of the 3rd, on that power play, the Bears made it 3-0. Chris Brown scored his 2nd of the night (10th of the season), from Chris Conner (2nd assist of the night) & Tim Kennedy. At the 17:19 mark, the Bears put the nail in the coffin with their 4th goal. Philippe Cornet scored his 6th of the season, from Jim O'Brien (1st game with the Bears). The frustration of the Devils caused a few penalties to occur only 10 seconds after that goal. Justin Peters finished with the 24-save shutout (Hershey finished with 26 shots).


Next Game: Tomorrow vs. Norfolk, 7:00


Note: Tim Kennedy was named as the Bears' representative at the AHL All-Star Classic. Kennedy is currently tied for 2nd in the league in assists with 26.
