Recap
Another victory at Boardwalk Hall! The Bears seem to really enjoy playing in that place. Overall, this game didn't have a whole bunch happening. The most happened in the 1st period. At the 2:22 mark, Hershey's Steve Oleksy was charged with tripping. At the 8:04 mark, Hershey's Cameron Schilling was charged with holding. Albany took advantage of this power play 8 seconds in. Reid Boucher scored his 12th of the season, from Tim Sestito & Scott Timmins, to give Albany the 1-0 lead. Around 4 minutes later, Albany's Dan Kelly was charged with holding, but the Bears couldn't take advantage. However, with 12 seconds left in the period, Hershey tied it up again. Matt Watkins scored his 8th of the year, from Dane Byers. Albany had the 14-9 shot advantage at the 1st intermission.
The 2nd period had a little less going on than the 1st period did. At the 1:24 mark, Albany's Corbin McPherson was charged with hooking. At the 15:34 mark, the scoreless tie was broken. The Devils' Stefan Matteau scored his 9th of the season, from Scott Timmins & Mike Hoeffel, to make it 2-1. As the Bears were trying to tie it, Tyson Strachan was charged with tripping at the 18:36 mark. Albany continued their shot advantage, now at 23-16.
The 3rd period had only one happening in the stat books, but it was a big one. At the 9:23 mark, Hershey's Michael Latta scored his 7th of the year, from Peter LeBlanc & Nicolas Deschamps, to make it 2-2. After that period, Albany had the shot advantage at 32-21. In the overtime period, Albany had most of the chances, but couldn't score one. They finished with the shot advantage at 35-22. In the shootout, Hershey scored on its first two shots, from Ryan Stoa & Casey Wellman. Philipp Grubauer stood tall until the 4th round, where Stefan Matteau scored to make it 2-1 in the shootout. No one would score after that, as Grubauer stood in the 5th and final round (and also finished with 33 saves), and the Bears came out with the victory! The Bears return home tomorrow night to try to increase their home winning streak to 12 games. It's against the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, and game time is at 7.

Recap
DEFEND THE DEN. 11 in a row at Giant Center! The 1st period started off very quickly. 61 seconds in, Hershey's Ryan Stoa scored his 10th of the season, from Nicolas Deschamps & Brandon Segal. However, in what has became the trademark occasionally for the Bears, it did take long for the Penguins to tie it up. At the 2:58 mark, Harry Zolnierczyk scored his 16th of the season, from Dominik Uher. 9 minutes later, Stoa was charged with interference. 43 seconds into the power play, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's Tom Kostopoulos scored his 18th of the season, from Simon Despres & Andrew Ebbett, to take a 2-1 lead. 41 seconds later, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's Tom Kuhnhackl was charged with roughing. 3 minutes later, at the 15:53 mark, the Penguins' Bobby Farnham was penalized with charging and unsportsmanlike conduct for disputing a decision. Hershey couldn't take advantage (which became a common theme for their power play), and at the 18:03 mark, Michael Latta was charged with tripping. At the 1st intermission, Hershey had a 12-9 shot advantage.
The 2nd period could be considered the penalty period. At the 5:42 mark, Harrison Ruopp was charged with boarding. At the 8:31 mark, a number of penalties occurred. For Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, there was Ruopp for fighting, and Pierre-Luc Letourneau-Leblond (that's one person) with a misconduct for continuing an altercation. For Hershey, there was Cameron Schilling for interference, Michael Latta for fighting, and Joel Rechlcz with a misconduct for continuing an altercation. About 4 minutes later, the Penguins' Anton Zlobin was charged for elbowing. Hershey couldn't take advantage, but at the 16:01 mark, the game was ted. Matt Watkins scored his 7th of the year, from Peter Leblanc & Michael Latta, to tie it at 2. At the end of the period, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's Nick Drazenovic was charged for tripping. At the 2nd intermission, Hershey had a 25-16 shot advantage.
At the start of the 3rd, Hershey had their 6th power play of the game, but couldn't capitalize once again. Then, at the 6:50 mark, the Bears were served a bench minor for too many men on the ice. 4 minutes later, a penalty shot was issued for Hershey's Dane Byers. He capitalized on it, scoring his 7th goal of the season, to give the Bears a 3-2 lead. Only 13 seconds later, Hershey's Cameron Schilling was charged for closing his hand on the puck. As the period went on, it looked like the Bears would hold on for their 11 straight home win. However, that was thought too soon at the time. At the 16:49 mark, the Penguins' Bobby Farnham scored his 3rd of the season, from Carter Rowney & Philip Samuelsson, to tie the game up at 3. At the intermission, Hershey continued its shot advantage, now at 31-27.
Hershey didn't take long in the overtime period to make sure that their home winning streak continued. 47 seconds into the period, Dustin Gazley scored his 6th of the season, from Matt Watkins & Tyson Strachan, to give the Bears the 4-3 victory! As that was the only shot of the period, the Bears won the shot advantage 32-27. After the All-Star Break, the Bears will have another 3-in-3 stretch of games. The first game will be at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City against the Albany Devils. Game time is at 7.

Recap
This team seems to go from having good games to bad games very quickly. Starting off early (in the first two minutes), Rochester's Luke Adam was charged with cross-checking. A few minutes later, Hershey was hit with two penalties, which gave Rochester a two-man advantage for a short period of time. Brandon Segal was charged with tripping, and Chay Genoway was charged with hooking. Rochester couldn't take advantage, but at the 11:00 mark, they broke the scoreless tie. Luke Adam scored his 20th of the season, from Brayden Irwin & Brayden McNabb. 52 seconds later, Rochester's Johan Larsson was charged with hooking. A minute later, Hershey took advantage of the power play. Jeff Taffe scored his 13th of the season, from Brandon Segal & Ryan Stoa, to tie the game at 1. However, only 33 seconds later, Rochester's Jamie Tardif scored his 13th of the season, from Nick Crawford & Dan Catenacci, to take the 2-1 lead. As the final penalty of the period, Rochester's Mark Pysyk was charged with closing his hand on the puck. After the 1st, the Americans had an 11-6 shot advantage.
The 2nd period started off quickly. Only 29 seconds in, Rochester's Dan Catenacci scored his 6th of the season, from Mark Pysyk & Brayden McNabb, to stretch the lead to 3-1. Hershey would then have 3 penalties in a row in a 7 minute span. Nathan Walker was charged with holding, Cameron Schilling was charged with high-sticking, then it was again Walker, this time for cross-checking. Hershey's penalty kill stayed strong during the entire game, shutting down the power play of the Americans. At the same time of Walker's 2nd penalty, Rochester's Mark Pysyk was charged with roughing. 15 seconds later, Rochester's Brayden McNabb was charged with holding, giving the Bears a 4-on-3 power play. Hershey did not take advantage, and then at the 14:34 mark, they were charged with a bench minor for too many men on the ice. Rochester continued their shot advantage, now at 21-13.
In the 3rd period, there wasn't much happening. At the 4:12 mark, Rochester's Brayden Irwin was charged with goaltender interference. At the 13:04 mark, Rochester increased their lead to 4-1. Brayden Irwin scored his 2nd of the season, from Luke Adam & Johan Larsson. At the 17:14 mark, Hershey's Michael Latta finished out the penalties, being charged with cross-checking. Hershey had the shot advantage in that period, but Rochester finished with the 33-26 shot advantage in the game. Hershey comes back to the Giant Center tomorrow to see if they can stretch their home winning streak to 10 games. It's against the Portland Pirates, and game time is at 7.

Recap
This team seems to go from having good games to bad games very quickly. Starting off early (in the first two minutes), Rochester's Luke Adam was charged with cross-checking. A few minutes later, Hershey was hit with two penalties, which gave Rochester a two-man advantage for a short period of time. Brandon Segal was charged with tripping, and Chay Genoway was charged with hooking. Rochester couldn't take advantage, but at the 11:00 mark, they broke the scoreless tie. Luke Adam scored his 20th of the season, from Brayden Irwin & Brayden McNabb. 52 seconds later, Rochester's Johan Larsson was charged with hooking. A minute later, Hershey took advantage of the power play. Jeff Taffe scored his 13th of the season, from Brandon Segal & Ryan Stoa, to tie the game at 1. However, only 33 seconds later, Rochester's Jamie Tardif scored his 13th of the season, from Nick Crawford & Dan Catenacci, to take the 2-1 lead. As the final penalty of the period, Rochester's Mark Pysyk was charged with closing his hand on the puck. After the 1st, the Americans had an 11-6 shot advantage.
The 2nd period started off quickly. Only 29 seconds in, Rochester's Dan Catenacci scored his 6th of the season, from Mark Pysyk & Brayden McNabb, to stretch the lead to 3-1. Hershey would then have 3 penalties in a row in a 7 minute span. Nathan Walker was charged with holding, Cameron Schilling was charged with high-sticking, then it was again Walker, this time for cross-checking. Hershey's penalty kill stayed strong during the entire game, shutting down the power play of the Americans. At the same time of Walker's 2nd penalty, Rochester's Mark Pysyk was charged with roughing. 15 seconds later, Rochester's Brayden McNabb was charged with holding, giving the Bears a 4-on-3 power play. Hershey did not take advantage, and then at the 14:34 mark, they were charged with a bench minor for too many men on the ice. Rochester continued their shot advantage, now at 21-13.
In the 3rd period, there wasn't much happening. At the 4:12 mark, Rochester's Brayden Irwin was charged with goaltender interference. At the 13:04 mark, Rochester increased their lead to 4-1. Brayden Irwin scored his 2nd of the season, from Luke Adam & Johan Larsson. At the 17:14 mark, Hershey's Michael Latta finished out the penalties, being charged with cross-checking. Hershey had the shot advantage in that period, but Rochester finished with the 33-26 shot advantage in the game. Hershey comes back to the Giant Center tomorrow to see if they can stretch their home winning streak to 10 games. It's against the Portland Pirates, and game time is at 7.

Recap
That was a rough one to watch. Only around 3 minutes into the 1st period, Adirondack's Tyler Brown scored his 1st goal of the season, from Marc-Andre Bourdon & Kyle Flanagan, to make it 1-0 in favor of the home team. Only 4 minutes later, Tye McGinn scored his 12th of the season, from Kris Newbury & Jason Akeson, to increase their lead to 2-0. Marc-Andre Bourdon was called for hooking at the 11:17 mark, but Hershey couldn't capitalize (which became a theme in this game). With under 3 minutes left, Hershey came back a bit with Matt Watkins' 6th goal of the season, from Ryan Potulny and Dane Byers. Towards the end of the period, Bruno Gervais was penalized for slashing, which gave the Bears a power play at the start of the 2nd. Even though Adirondack dominated a good amount of the period, Hershey had a 13-6 shot advantage.
The 2nd period had much to talk about...in the penalty aspect. At 2:56, Nick Cousins was charged with a holding penalty. Right towards the end of that power play, Kris Newbury was given a double minor for tripping and unsportsmanlike conduct. That gave the Bears 4 more minutes on the power play, but they couldn't score on it. At the 8:49 mark, Cameron Schilling was penalized for holding, which gave Adirondack their 1st power play (which they didn't score on). With a little over 5 minutes left, each team received penalties. For Hershey, Ryan Stoa got charged with tripping and roughing, while for Adirondack, Kris Newbury got charged with roughing. No goals were scored on that power play, so the period was scoreless. Hershey had a 19-14 shot advantage, but was still down 2-1.
Going into the 3rd period, the Bears needed to get more chances to score. However, it became Adirondack's chances to score. At the 5:12 mark, Nicolas Deschamps got called for tripping. Only 17 seconds later, Adirondack's Ben Holmstrom scored his 9th goal of the season on said power play, from Tye McGinn & Kris Newbury (2nd assist of the game). Only 3 minutes later, Adirondack's Jason Akeson scored his 16th of the season, from Tye McGinn (2nd assist of the game) and Oliver Lauridsen, to make it 4-1 in favor of the Phantoms. Towards the end of the game, it got a little chippy. Hershey's Derek Whitmore and Adirondack's Oliver Lauridsen were charged 5 minutes for fighting at the 16:34 mark, and Adirondack's Chris VandeVelde got a penalty for tripping at the 18:40 mark. Adirondack outshot Hershey 17-10 in that period, to give them the 31-29 advantage. Hershey's power play unit was shut out, which was the key in this game. Hershey, whose 6-game winning streak was snapped, will travel back to the Giant Center for an early game tomorrow against the Norfolk Admirals. Game time is at 2.
