Recap
The fact that the Bears had a 2-0 lead going into the 3rd with the shot advantage that the Pens had was very impressive. However, the shot advantage finally got to them, but the Bears were still able to get a point. The 1st did not have many events, as 2 penalties went against the Bears. After the 1st, the Penguins had the 8-2 shot advantage. 1:30 into the 2nd, the Bears got on the board. Jon Landry scored his 1st of the season, from Tomas Kundratek & Chris Brown. At the 11:40 mark, Hershey increased their lead to 2-0. Casey Wellman scored his 7th of the season, from Nathan Walker & Kris Newbury. The period ended with a fight between Hershey's Chris Brown & Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's Reid McNeill. After the 2nd, the Pens had the 19-9 shot advantage.
In the 3rd, the penalties were more spread out between the teams than in other periods, as each team had two penalties called against them. During one of the 4-on-4 times, at the 9:33 mark, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton got it to within one. Taylor Chorney scored his 1st of the season, from Carter Rowney. The game stayed at that score going into the final minute of the period, in which with 48 seconds left, the Pens tied it up. Jayson Megna scored his 3rd of the season, from Taylor Chorney (2nd point of the night) & Derrick Pouliot. Going into the overtime period, the Pens had the 32-15 shot advantage. Only 1:01 into overtime, the Pens got the win. Jayson Megna scored his 4th of the season (2nd of the night), from Derrick Pouliot (2nd assist of the night) & Beau Bennett. The Pens finished with the 34-16 shot advantage.

Recap
After how the weekend started with the 2nd straight shutout, it looked like it would be another great weekend for the Bears. Instead, it turned into a disappointing one. Right off the bat, Hershey would give up an early goal once again (just like last night). This time, however, it would be on a penalty shot. It was Jordan Weal's 2nd goal of the season. However, Hershey would answer back later in the 1st. Kris Newbury scored his 6th of the season, from Casey Wellman & Dane Byers. Hershey's penalty kill would take center stage in this period, as they did very well to make sure the game would stay tied. At the end of the 1st, the Monarchs would have the 9-7 shot advantage.
The 2nd period would have a couple penalties go against the Monarchs, but the Bears couldn't capitalize on them. However, Manchester would get the lead back in this period. At the 8:39 mark, Nick Shore would score his 2nd of the season, from Michael Mersch & Derek Forbort. After the 2nd, the shots were even at 19. The 3rd period would include a couple more penalties for the Monarchs, but once again, the Bears couldn't capitalize on them. The Monarchs actually would capitalize on one, as they got a shorthanded goal from Nick Shore (3rd goal of the season, 2nd of the game). The Bears would finish with the 28-22 shot advantage.

Recap
Pheonix Copley's shutout streak was broken very quickly and often in this game. Hershey made a great effort to come back, but it would be too late. Like I said, at 1:50 of the 1st period, the streak was broken quickly. Daniil Tarasov scored his 1st of the season, from Jeremy Langlois & Konrad Abeltshauser. 14 seconds later, Hershey tied it up quickly. Joel Broda scored his 2nd of the season, from Dustin Gazley & Tomas Kundratek. At the 8:57 mark, Worcester took back the lead. Tyler Kennedy scored his 1st of the season, from Bryan Lerg & Matt Taormina. After the 1st, the Bears had the 11-10 shot advantage.
A few minutes after a penalty against the Bears to start off the 2nd, Hershey tied it back up. Cameron Schilling scored his 1st of the season, from Erik Burgdoerfer & Tim Kennedy. More than a minute later, Worcester took back the lead again. Freddie Hamilton scored his 4th of the season, from Jeremy Langlois (2nd assist of the night) & Konrad Abeltshauser (2nd assist of the night). A few minutes later, Hershey's Mike Moore and Worcester's Micheal Haley got 7 minutes each for fighting and unsportsmanlike conduct. At the 16:30 mark, Worcester increased their lead to two. Daniil Tarasov scored his 2nd of the season, from Eriah Hayes & Melker Karlsson. After the 2nd, the Sharks had the 21-16 shot advantage.
27 seconds into the 3rd, the Bears' Chandler Stephenson was charged with boarding. On that power play, the Sharks made it 5-2. Micheal Haley scored his 5th of the season, from Taylor Fedun & Matt Taormina (2nd assist of the night). A little under 3 minutes later, the Bears made it 5-3. Kris Newbury scored his 5th of the season, from Tomas Kundratek (2nd assist of the night) & Dane Byers. After a few penalties for each team, and with the extra attacker on, the Bears got within one.

Three in a row and two straight shutouts! This team could really be something special.

In the 2nd period, the Bears offense came alive. At the 11:37 mark, the Bears got on the board. Dane Byers scored his 3rd of the season, from Kris Newbury & Casey Wellman. 4 minutes later, while on the power play, Hershey made it 2-0. Casey Wellman scored his 6th of the season (2nd point of the night), from Tomas Kundratek & Connor Carrick. 4 minutes after that, and 23 seconds before the end of the period, it became 3-0. Chris Brown scored his 1st of the season, from Casey Wellman (2nd assist of the night, 3rd point of the night). As the game went into the 3rd, the Bears got hit with a few more penalties, but the penalty kill went 6-for-6 on the night. 3 seconds before the end of the game, the Bears finished off the 4-0 victory. Steve Oleksy scored his 2nd of the season, from Mike Moore. The Monarchs finished with the 26-23 shot advantage (Philipp Grubauer got the shutout for the Bears).

Recap
What a way to start the home season! If you made it past the box score to read the recap, I thank you. There was much going on in this game, especially in those final few minutes. In the 1st period, the penalties started off early, and the goals were in a short window. After one of the Penguins' penalties, the Bears power play struck once again. Tim Kennedy scored his 1st of the season, from Kris Newbury & Tomas Kundratek. 40 seconds later, the Bears doubled the lead. Dane Byers scored his 2nd of the season, from Jon Landry & Tomas Kundratek (2nd assist of the night). After the 1st, the Bears had the 14-10 shot advantage.
24 seconds into the 2nd period, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton cut the lead in half. Jayson Megna scored his 2nd of the season, from Tom Kuhnhackl & Andrew Ebbett. The penalties continued throughout the period, with 9 being handed out. In the middle of two penalties, Hershey once again struck on the power play. Casey Wellman scored his 5th of the season, from Tomas Kundratek (3rd assist of the night) & Kris Newbury (2nd assist of the night). 3 minutes later, a rare penalty shot was given to Hershey. Dustin Gazley took the shot, and capitalized on it for his 2nd goal of the season to make it 4-1. After the 2nd, the Bears had the 23-19 shot advantage.
The 3rd period didn't have any goals, but it's the period that everything got out of control. For most of the period, there were actually less penalties than in the previous periods. However, at the 17:18 mark, everything was insane. 10 penalties were given out, 8 for fighting. For Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, it was Pierre-Luc Letourneau-Leblond, Brian Dumoulin, Bobby Farnham (who got 3 penalties), and Dominik Uher. For Hershey, it was Joel Broda, Philippe Cornet, Jon Landry, and Steve Oleksy. 29 penalties were given out during the entire game. The Bears finished with the 28-27 shot advantage (Philipp Grubauer got the win with 26 saves).
