Recap

With the way this game started, I thought it would stay a low-scoring game. It ended up turning into a bad game for the Bears. In that first period, Hershey got on the board quickly. Dustin Gazley scored his 2nd of the season, from Madison Bowey. The penalty kills of each team would stand strong in the period. After the 1st period, the Bears had the 11-8 shot advantage.

The 2nd period is where everything changed. Syracuse started to pick up their play, but Dan Ellis stayed with them until the 11:36 mark of the period, where Syracuse would tie it up on the power play. Matt Taormina scored his 2nd of the season, from Yanni Gourde & Jeff Tambellini. Only 16 seconds later, they would take the lead. Anthony DeAngelo scored his 3rd of the season, from Matthew Peca & Matt Taormina (2nd point of night). After the 2nd, the Crunch had the 26-21 shot advantage.

Things didn't get much better for the Bears in the 3rd period. 2:28 into the period, right after the end of a power play, the Crunch got the insurance goal. Jeff Tambellini scored his 3rd of the season (2nd point of night), from Matt Taormina (2nd assist/3rd point of night). A little more than 4 minutes later, just as a power play was starting, Syracuse increased the lead to 3. Mike Blunden scored his 3rd of the season, from Dylan Blujus & Anthony DeAngelo (2nd point of night). Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 27 of the Bears' 28 shots to get the win (Syracuse had 32 shots).

Next Game: Tomorrow vs. St. John's, 7:00
