Recap
Once again, the shootout is the Bears' kryptonite. They are now 0-for-5 in shootouts. However, they did get a point in a game where it looked like they wouldn't. The Bears started off strong, as they scored 1:24 into the game. Nathan Walker scored his 4th of the season, from Connor Carrick & Zach Sill. However, the game would turn quickly in favor of the home team, as almost two minutes later, the Wolf Pack tied it. Brady Skjei scored his 2nd of the season, from Chad Nehring & Ryan Bourque. At the 7:10 mark, Hartford took the lead. Chad Nehring scored his 6th of the season (2nd point of night), from Tyler Brown & Chris Summers. After the 1st, the Wolf Pack had the 11-10 shot advantage.
In the 2nd, the Bears would have a large advantage in shots. That paid off at the 7:30 mark, as they would tie the game at two. Connor Carrick scored his 4th of the season, from Christian Djoos & Chandler Stephenson. With 2:48 left in the period, the Wolf Pack would get one of their two shots in the period past Justin Peters. Nick Tamasky scored his 6th of the season, from Chris McCarthy. After the 2nd, the Bears had the 19-13 shot advantage.
In the 3rd, the Bears didn't stop the shots. They had some good chances against Mackenzie Skapski, but it would take a power play with less than a minute left for the Bears to get their best chance. With 43 seconds left in regulation, the Bears would get the tying goal. Chandler Stephenson scored his 1st of the season, from Connor Carrick (3rd point/2nd assist of night) & Chris Bourque. In the overtime, the Wolf Pack would get a penalty shot. Jayson Megna, who has always scored big goals against the Bears, was stopped by Peters. Going into the shootout, the Bears finished with the 36-25 shot advantage. Dustin Gazley would start the Bears off right with a goal in the 1st round, but no Bears would score again. Both of Hartford's players scored, so they took the shootout 2-1.
