Recap


Including this game, that is now 17 goals in the past three games. It's safe to say that the Bears' offense has found whatever was missing for most of the season. The Bears controlled almost all play through the entire game. The only issue was the amount of penalties taken, but the Phantoms took just as many. The 1st period started off with a power play goal for Lehigh Valley. Petr Straka scored his 9th of the season, from Brett Hextall. After this goal, the Bears took over. 10 seconds after they killed a power play, they tied the score at 1. Casey Wellman scored his 13th of the season, from Connor Carrick.


Less than 2 minutes later, Hershey took a 2-1 lead on the power play with their power play master. Stanislav Galiev scored his 14th of the season, from Chris Conner & Connor Carrick (2nd assist of the night). At the 14:40 mark, the Bears scored a shorthanded goal to make it 3-1. Jim O'Brien scored his 1st of the season, from Dustin Gazley. The Phantoms would change goalies at this point, as Anthony Stolarz would come in for Martin Ouellette. The 1st period would finish with a couple fights. The first fight was between Lehigh Valley's Brandon Manning & Hershey's Steve Oleksy. The second fight was between Lehigh Valley's Brett Flemming & Hershey's Erik Burgdoerfer. After the 1st, the Phantoms had the 9-7 shot advantage.


In the 2nd, the penalties and the Bears' goals continued. 4:05 into the period, the Bears increased their lead to 3. Chris Brown scored his 11th of the season, from Stanislav Galiev (2nd point of the night) & Tim Kennedy. On the 5-on-3 at the 9:50 mark, the Bears got their 3rd power play goal to make it 5-1. Connor Carrick scored his 5th of the season (3rd point of the night), from Tim Kennedy (2nd assist of the night) & Casey Wellman (2nd point of the night). Around two and a half minutes later, Hershey would make it 6-1. Kris Newbury scored his 13th of the season, from Chris Brown (2nd point of the night) & Philippe Cornet. After the 2nd, the Bears had the 20-15 shot advantage.


In the 3rd, the penalties would still continue, but the scoring would slow down a bit. The Phantoms would get two more misconduct penalties in the period to go along with a fight between Steven Delisle and Hershey's Liam O'Brien. Hershey would not be done in the scoring, as they would get their 7th goal of the game at the 10:03 mark. Tim Kennedy scored his 4th of the season (3rd point of the night), from Chris Conner (2nd assist of the night) & Stanislav Galiev (2nd assist/3rd point of the night). The Phantoms showed no quit, as they would get a power play goal to make it 7-2. Brandon Manning scored his 7th of the season, from Nick Cousins & Jason Akeson. Philipp Grubauer would get 23 saves in a strong performance (Hershey finished with 30 shots).
