Recap
A tough one to lose. Both teams played well (Hershey at the beginning, Worcester towards the end), so it's good to get a point out of it. The 1st period was fast-paced, and didn't feel that long at all. The Bears would get the only goal of the period. Casey Wellman scored his 23rd of the season, from Connor Carrick & Jim O'Brien. After the 1st, the Bears had the 20-10 shot advantage. In the 2nd, a little more would happen, including a goal for each. At the 4:28 mark, the Bears would make it 2-0. Liam O'Brien scored his 3rd of the season, from Connor Carrick (2nd assist of night) & Chandler Stephenson.
Only 1:22 after that, Worcester would get on the board to make it 2-1. Travis Oleksuk scored his 9th of the season, from Micheal Haley & Karl Stollery. After the 2nd, the Bears had the 26-20 shot advantage. In the 3rd, the Sharks wouldn't take long to tie the game at 2 (2:23 into the period). Matt Willows scored his 3rd of the season, from Matt Taomina. The Bears penalty kill would be clutch with two important penalty kill situations. In the overtime period, the play was fast-paced and each team had great chances, but the goalies stood strong. In the shootout, Daniel Ciampini would score in the 1st round for the Sharks, but Hershey's Andre Burakovsky would score in the 2nd. The tie would last until the 7th round, where Worcester's John McCarthy would get the puck past Philipp Grubauer to win the game. The Bears finished with the 38-32 shot advantage.

Recap
The Bears are playoff bound! The Bears' play put them in a much better position in the standings this season, and it shows with the early playoff clinching. A little bit into the first, the Sound Tigers would be charged in a major penalty. The Bears would take advantage of that with two goals on that power play. The first goal was Stanislav Galiev's 24th of the season, from Andre Burakovsky & Chris Conner. The second goal was Andre Burakovsky's 3rd of the season (2nd point of night), from Dmitry Orlov & Tim Kennedy. After the 1st, the Sound Tigers had the 12-7 shot advantage.
In the 2nd, Bridgeport made sure that they wouldn't go away without a fight. At the 5:42 mark, the Sound Tigers would get within one. Alan Quine scored his 20th of the season, from Scott Mayfield & Dustin Jeffrey. A little more than 3 minutes later, the Bears would score their 3rd power play goal of the game. Casey Wellman scored his 22nd of the season, from Nate Schmidt & Stanislav Galiev (2nd point of night). After the 2nd, the Sound Tigers had the 24-16 shot advantage.
In the 3rd, the tiredness of a 3-in-3 weekend started to show. At the 3:46 mark, on the power play, Bridgeport would get back to within one. Ryan Pulock scored his 15th of the season, from Alan Quine (2nd point of night) & Dustin Jeffrey (2nd assist of night). 4 minutes later, the Sound Tigers would tie the game. Kael Mouillierat scored his 20th of the season, from Colton Gillies & Aaron Ness. After a few scary chances from Bridgeport, Hershey would capitalize on one of their scoring chances to get the lead back. Jim O'Brien scored his 8th of the season, from Dustin Gazley & Casey Wellman (2nd point of night). The Sound Tigers finished with the 34-22 shot advantage.

Recap
With how strong the power play and penalty kill units started, this was a tough loss to take. The Bears gave up six goals for the first time this season, and it was with five unanswered. The 1st period would feature no scoring, and the Monarchs would have complete control in the period. A fight would occur between Hershey's Liam O'Brien & Manchester's Josh Gratton. After the 1st, the Monarchs had a staggering 22-5 shot advantage.
In the 2nd, the goals would come in bunches. On the power play (at the 5:09 mark), the Bears would get on the board first. Jim O'Brien scored his 5th of the season, from Dmitry Orlov & Casey Wellman. The Monarchs would follow with a tying goal at the 8:26 mark. Sean Backman scored his 17th of the season, from Michael Mersch & Vincent LoVerde. About 3 and a half minutes later, the Bears would take the lead again on the power play. Jim O'Brien scored his 2nd of the night (6th of season), from Dmitry Orlov & Casey Wellman (both 2nd assists of night).
On the following Manchester power play, the Bears would get a shorthanded goal. Chandler Stephenson scored his 6th of the season, from Mike Moore & Dustin Gazley. At the 16:48 mark, the Monarchs would be able to get within one. Michael Mersch scored his 13th of the season (2nd point of the night), from Andrew Bodnarchuk & Nic Dowd. 15 seconds before the end of the period, the game would be tied at 3. Zach O'Brien scored his 13th of the season, from Nic Dowd (2nd assist of the night) & Jeff Schultz. After the 2nd, the Monarchs had a huge 37-18 shot advantage.
In the 3rd, all the shots would finally take its toll on Philipp Grubauer, as the Monarchs would take full control of the game. On the power play (at the 3:20 mark), they would take the 4-3 lead. Michael Mersch scored his 2nd of the night (14th of season, 3rd point of night), from Colin Miller & Jeff Schultz (2nd assist of night). At the 13:33 mark, the lead would increase to two.

Recap
What a way to get your first AHL goal! With how the Pirates have been playing, this was a great win on the road. In the 1st, the Bears would get on the board first. Tim Kennedy scored his 9th of the season, from Mike Moore & Stanislav Galiev. However, on a power play for the Bears, the Pirates would get a shorthanded goal to tie it (at the 15:09 mark). Alexandre Bolduc scored his 16th of the season, from Jordan Martinook. A little bit later, a fight would occur between Hershey's Mike Moore & Portland's Francis Wathier. After the 1st, the Bears had the 11-5 shot advantage.
In the 2nd, only one goal would be scored, and it would be for the Bears (at the 8:12 mark). Kris Newbury got his 18th of the season, from Mike Moore (2nd assist of the night) & Chris Brown. After the 2nd, the Pirates had the 20-16 shot advantage. The Pirates would not go down without a fight, as with 7 minutes left in the 3rd, they would tie it up again. Alexandre Bolduc scored his 2nd of the night (17th of season), from Jordan Martinook (2nd assist of night) & Patrick McNeill. Going into the overtime, each team would only have one shot, and the Bears made theirs count. Andre Burakovsky scored his 1st AHL goal, from Mike Moore (3rd assist of the night). Philipp Grubauer put forth another strong performance, finishing with 25 saves (Pirates had the 27-24 shot advantage).

Recap
Wonderful performances by the penalty kill units and Philipp Grubauer were the reason for this win. The penalty kill completely shut down the Sharks, and Grubauer was masterful once again. The Sharks had complete control from the beginning of the game, but the Bears would be the ones to get on the board first (at the 6:31 mark of the 1st). Tim Kennedy scored his 8th of the season, from Chris Conner & Jon Landry. At the end of the 1st, the Sharks had the 12-4 shot advantage. The 2nd period would be filled with shots, but no goals were given up. The penalty kill for the Bears would stop a brief 5-on-3 towards the end of the period. After the 2nd, the Sharks had the 31-12 shot advantage.
In the 3rd, the scoring would pick up. 17 seconds into the period, the Sharks tied it. Bryan Lerg scored his 9th of the season, from Evan Trupp & Karl Stollery. At the 9:22 mark, shortly after surviving another 5-on-3 penalty kill, the Bears would get the lead again. Cameron Schilling scored his 3rd of the season, from Casey Wellman. With 1:06 left, the Bears would get an important empty-net goal. Jim O'Brien scored his 4th of the season, from Dustin Gazley & Cameron Schilling (2nd point of the night). That empty-net goal was important because with 16 seconds left, the Sharks would make it 3-2. Bryan Lerg scored his 2nd of the night (10th of the season), from Taylor Fedun. Philipp Grubauer finished with 44 saves, as the Sharks had the 46-23 shot advantage.
Next Game: Friday at Portland, 7:00
