Recap

To get 5 points out of a 3-game weekend is something to be happy about. Although the Bears didn't win this one, they at least got a point out of it with the last-minute goal. In the first, you could tell this would be a well-fought matchup. At the 9:06 mark of the 1st, Hartford would get on the board. Nick Taransky would get his 1st of the season, from Brady Skjei & Chad Nehring. Less than 3 minutes later, the Bears would tie it back up. Madison Bowey got his 1st AHL goal, from Travis Boyd & Aaron Ness. After the 1st, the Wolf Pack had the 9-7 shot advantage.

The 2nd would have a few good chances for each team, but no goals came out of it. Each goalie was standing strong. In the 3rd, the Wolf Pack would be able to get one past Justin Peters at the 12:44 mark. Nick Taransky scored his 2nd of the night, from Ryan Graves & Chad Nehring (2nd assist of night). It was looking like this would a regulation loss, but with 13 seconds left, the Bears were able to tie it up. Jakub Vrana scored his 2nd of the season, from Chris Bourque & Riley Barber. In overtime, the chances were limited as each defense played well in the period. With that period over, the Wolf Pack finished with the 27-26 shot advantage. In the shootout, Hartford's Brian Gibbons was able to get one past Peters in the 2nd round. Chris Bourque was able to tie it up for Hershey in the 3rd round, but Marek Hrivik scored right after him to win it for the Wolf Pack.
