Recap


It's been a while since a Bears game had so little penalties. Even with the decreased power play chances, the Bears were able to get the victory. The Bears started off slow in the 1st, and it lead to Binghamton getting the 1-0 lead. Garrett Thompson scored his 3rd of the season, from Buddy Robinson & David Dziurzynski. Less than two minutes later, the Bears were able to tie it. Casey Wellman scored his 14th of the season, from Jim O'Brien & Tomas Kundratek. Later on in the period (at the 16:11 mark), the Bears were able to take the 2-1 lead. Chris Conner scored his 11th of the season, from Chandler Stephenson & Stanislav Galiev. After the 1st, the Bears had the 12-11 shot advantage.


The 2nd had one penalty for each team, but the Senators had most of the chances in the period. It would stay 2-1 Bears though. After the 2nd, the Senators had the 22-16 shot advantage. In the 3rd, the Bears would get that insurance goal quick (2:33 into the period). Chris Conner scored his 2nd of the night (12th of the season), from Stanislav Galiev (2nd assist of the night) & Connor Carrick. At the 9:25 mark, Binghamton would get the lead back to 1. Colin Greening scored his 1st of the season, from Cole Schneider. Pheonix Copley, put into the starting role after the callup of Philipp Grubauer, would shut them down the rest of the way and finish off a strong 29-save performance (Hershey finished with 25 shots).


Next Game: Tonight vs. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, 7:00


Notes: A few moves were made over the past couple days. Goaltender Philipp Grubauer was called up to the Caps during the day (he ended up getting the win in goal for the Caps against the Ducks last night). In possible preparation for the move, the Bears signed goaltender Kenny Reiter to a professional tryout contract. Also, to make room for Grubauer, the Caps sent Andre Burakovsky down to Hershey. However, just before posting this, the Caps announced that they have recalled Burakovsky and sent Grubauer back to Hershey. Also, Reiter was released from that tryout contract.
