Recap

The Bears need to figure out a way to win a shootout. It's been their kryptonite all season. This was one crazy game from beginning to end. The scoring started off quick in the 1st, as the first goal for Lehigh Valley was scored 1:22 into the game. Tyrell Goulbourne scored his 5th of the season, from Kevin Goumas & Robert Hagg. Around 7 minutes later, the Bears tied it at one. Mike Moore scored his 1st of the season, from Connor Carrick & Travis Boyd. At the 12:24 mark, the Bears would take the lead. Tyler Lewington scored his 1st AHL goal (in his 1st AHL game), from Sean Collins & Nathan Walker. A little more than a minute and a half later, on the power play, the Phantoms tied it at two. Taylor Leier scored his 5th of the season, from Chris Conner & Andrew MacDonald. After the 1st, the Phantoms had the 9-8 shot advantage.

In the 2nd, the scoring continued. At the 4:35 mark, the Bears took the 3-2 lead. Travis Boyd scored his 3rd of the season (2nd point of night), from Austin Fyten. At the 10:51 mark, the Phantoms would get another power play goal to tie it at three. Petr Straka scored his 13th of the season, from Taylor Leier (2nd point of night) & Chris Conner (2nd assist of night). Around 6 minutes later, the Phantoms took the 4-3 lead. Petr Straka scored his 2nd of the night (14th of season), from Tim Brent & David Drewiske. Between those two goals, a fight occurred between Hershey's Tyler Lewington & Lehigh Valley's Tyrell Goulbourne. After the 2nd, the Phantoms had the 25-16 shot advantage.

In the 3rd, the scoring took a break until later in the period, and then it continued like it had. At the 12:08 mark, the Bears tied the game at four. Nathan Walker scored his 3rd of the season (2nd point of night), from Zach Sill & Sean Collins (2nd assist of night). Around 4 minutes later (16:13 mark), the Phantoms took the lead again. Tyrell Goulbourne scored his 2nd of the night (6th of season), from Evan Rankin & Kevin Goumas (2nd assist of night). Only 20 seconds later, the Bears tied the game again. Paul Carey scored his 9th of the season, from Riley Barber & Carter Camper. In the overtime period, the Phantoms had more of the chances, but couldn't get one in the net. Going into the shootout, the Phantoms finished with the 33-28 shot advantage. It would take until the 5th round for someone to score, and it was Lehigh Valley's Tim Brent who scored the only goal in the shootout in that round.
