Recap
It seems like it has been ages since the Bears have lost two in a row. The lead on the division is a little smaller with that loss. It would be a tough test against Matt Murray, and it showed towards the beginning. Even with the momentum on their side, the Bears couldn't stop the Penguins from getting the 1st goal. Jayson Megna scored his 17th of the season, from Scott Wilson & Adam Payerl. Around 5 minutes later (at the 10:55 mark), the Bears would tie the game up. Connor Carrick scored his 8th of the season, from Dustin Gazley & Kris Newbury. After the 1st, the Bears had the 14-7 shot advantage.
In the 2nd, the action would not occur until the 2nd half of the period. In that 2nd half of the period, at the 12:06 mark, the Bears would take the 2-1 lead. Dustin Gazley scored his 15th of the season (2nd point of night), from Kris Newbury (2nd assist of night) & Connor Carrick (2nd point of night). At the 16:28 mark, when it was 4-on-4 after the Bears' penalty, the Penguins would tie the game up. Barry Goers scored his 1st of the season, from Jayson Megna (2nd point of night) & Adam Payerl (2nd assist of night). After the 2nd, the Bears had the 21-16 shot advantage.
In the 3rd, the period went from exciting to terrible for the Bears. At the 3:18 mark, the Bears would take the 3-2 lead. Mike Moore scored his 2nd of the season, from Stanislav Galiev & Chris Conner. 13 seconds later, the Penguins would tie it again. Matia Marcantuoni scored his 4th of the season, from Pierre-Luc Letourneau-Leblond & Bobby Farnham. Much later in the period, at the 16:37 mark, the Penguins would take the 4-3 lead. Tom Kostopoulos scored his 13th of the season, from Conor Sheary & Barry Goers (2nd point of the night). On the power play to finish off the game, the Penguins finished with another goal to make it 5-3. Conor Sheary scored his 19th of the season (2nd point of night), from Tom Kostopoulos (2nd point of night) & Andrew Ebbett. The shots were tied at 27.

Recap
It's been quite a while since the Bears got beat like this. The Pirates are a much different team than when the Bears played them last, and it showed. However, starting off the game, the Bears looked to be their usual strong selves. The power play master got the first goal on the board for the Bears at the 3:02 mark. Stanislav Galiev scored his 23rd of the season, from Andre Burakovsky & Chris Conner. However, a little over 10 minutes later, the Pirates would tie it up. Dylan Reese scored his 8th of the season, from Greg Miller & Tyler Gaudet. At the 15:21 mark, on the power play, the Pirates took the lead. Joel Hanley scored his 2nd of the season, from Jordan Martinook & Henrik Samuelsson. After the 1st, the Bears had the 9-8 shot advantage.
The 2nd would be controlled by the Pirates in all parts of the game, but Philipp Grubauer would stand strong to keep it a one goal game. After the 2nd, the Pirates had the 23-18 shot advantage. In the 3rd, the Pirates would run away with it. They would make it 3-1 at the 4:02 mark. Justin Hodgman scored his 10th of the season, from Jordan Martinook & Henrik Samuelsson (2nd assist of the night for both). A little more than 3 minutes later, on the power play, the Pirates' lead increased to three. Philip Samuelsson scored his 4th of the season, from Justin Hodgman (2nd point of night) & Jordan Szwarz. At the 16:35 mark, the Pirates would get one more past Grubauer to make it 5-1. Jordan Martinook scored his 14th of the season (3rd point of the night), from Alexandre Bolduc. Portland finished with the 35-24 shot advantage.

Recap
This game had a playoff feel to it. Seeing as it was between two teams that are in playoff contention, it's not a surprise. Philipp Grubauer was his usual strong self, but Jeremy Smith was just as strong. In the 1st, the momentum would be in the Bruins' favor due to penalties against the Bears. 10 seconds into the 2nd penalty, at the 12:45 mark, Providence would get on the board. Paul Carey scored his 14th of the season, from Joe Morrow & Zack Phillips. After the 1st, the Bruins had the 10-6 shot advantage.
In the 2nd, the Bruins would keep up their pace. At the 6:17 mark, on the power play, they would make it 2-0. Seth Griffith scored his 10th of the season, from Alexander Khokhlachev. At the 9:53 mark, also on the power play, the Bears would cut the lead in half. Tim Kennedy scored his 7th of the season, from Stanislav Galiev & Casey Wellman. A fight would break out a little later between Hershey's Liam O'Brien & Providence's Tyler Randell. The 3rd period would be controlled by the Bears, but Jeremy Smith would stand tall against them. The Bears finished with the 30-25 shot advantage.

Recap
This game had a playoff feel to it. Seeing as it was between two teams that are in playoff contention, it's not a surprise. Philipp Grubauer was his usual strong self, but Jeremy Smith was just as strong. In the 1st, the momentum would be in the Bruins' favor due to penalties against the Bears. 10 seconds into the 2nd penalty, at the 12:45 mark, Providence would get on the board. Paul Carey scored his 14th of the season, from Joe Morrow & Zack Phillips. After the 1st, the Bruins had the 10-6 shot advantage.
In the 2nd, the Bruins would keep up their pace. At the 6:17 mark, on the power play, they would make it 2-0. Seth Griffith scored his 10th of the season, from Alexander Khokhlachev. At the 9:53 mark, also on the power play, the Bears would cut the lead in half. Tim Kennedy scored his 7th of the season, from Stanislav Galiev & Casey Wellman. A fight would break out a little later between Hershey's Liam O'Brien & Providence's Tyler Randell. The 3rd period would be controlled by the Bears, but Jeremy Smith would stand tall against them. The Bears finished with the 30-25 shot advantage.

Recap
The Caps really need to keep their eyes on Philipp Grubauer. He's a special talent, as shown once again tonight with his 6th shutout of the season! Although Hershey had less chances, their chances were usually better ones than the Phantoms had. In the 1st, the play was pretty even although the shots say different. After the 1st, the Phantoms had the 13-7 shot advantage. In the 2nd, during a short 4v4, the Bears got on the board first. Dustin Gazley scored his 13th of the season, from Mike Moore & Kris Newbury. After the 2nd, the Phantoms had the 21-11 shot advantage. The Phantoms would continue the pressure in the 3rd, but the Bears would be the one to get a goal (at the 5:19 mark). Stanislav Galiev scored his 21st of the season, from Chris Conner & Steve Oleksy. Some tension would boil over, as a fight would occur between Hershey's Connor Carrick & Lehigh Valley's Scott Laughton. Philipp Grubauer would finish with 37 saves (Hershey finished with 17 shots).
