Recap
With the events of today's games, the Bears are in the top spot of the Atlantic Division! Dan Ellis is continuing to prove why he deserves to be the number one goaltender on the team. The 1st period was filled with some interesting calls by the referees, but none of that stopped the Bears from scoring with 1:08 left in the period. Nathan Walker scored his 13th of the season, from Scott Gomez & Riley Barber. After the 1st, the Bears had the 10-8 shot advantage.
In the 2nd, the scoring would increase by a substantial amount for the Bears. It would start off quick, as the Bears would make it 2-0 52 seconds in. Travis Boyd scored his 18th of the season, from Jakub Vrana & Chris Bourque. A fight would occur just a couple minutes after between Utica's Brandon Prust & Hershey's Tyler Lewington. After some interesting calls, the Bears would be on the penalty kill. The Comets would score on that power play to make it 2-1 (12:09 mark). Alexandre Grenier scored his 10th of the season, from Ronalds Kenins & Taylor Fedun. Only 51 seconds later, the Bears would get the two-goal lead back. Riley Barber scored his 19th of the season, from Nathan Walker (2nd point of night) & Connor Carrick. Right before the end of the period, Hershey would make it 4-1. Chris Bourque scored his 24th of the season (2nd point of night), from Jakub Vrana (2nd assist of night) & Travis Boyd (2nd point of night). After the 2nd, the Bears had the 23-18 shot advantage.
In the 3rd, the scoring would slow down as the Bears played more of a possession game to wind down the clock. At the 2:55 mark, a fight would occur between Utica's Joseph LaBate & Hershey's Garrett Mitchell. The scoring would finish at the 10:45 mark, as the Bears would get a shorthanded goal to make it 5-1. Zach Sill scored his 4th of the season. Dan Ellis finished with 32 saves on 33 shots (Hershey finished with 34 shots).
