Shots
HER: 14-13-11=38
LV: 10-7-12=29
Recap
Considering the shot differential, this should have been a closer game than it ended up being. It was that close game in the first two periods, but it changed in the 3rd. The referees would only give out 4 penalties the entire game, so it felt quicker than normal. The Bears would start off on the right foot with a goal in the 1st at the 4:14 mark. Jim O'Brien scored his 10th of the season, from Jakub Vrana (1st professional point) & Dustin Gazley. After the 1st, the Bears had the 14-10 shot advantage. In the 2nd, the Phantoms would tie it up quick (51 seconds in). Scott Laughton scored his 13th of the season, from Mark Alt & Jason Akeson. After the 2nd, the Bears had the 27-17 shot advantage.
In the 3rd, even though the Phantoms only had one more shot than the Bears in the period, they would run away with it. A strong performance from Rob Zepp helped that. 6:41 into the period, the Phantoms would take the lead. Petr Straka scored his 14th of the season, from Kevin Goumas. At the 12:44 mark, the lead would be stretched to two. Jason Akeson scored his 23rd of the season, from Taylor Leier & Scott Laughton (2nd point of the night). The Phantoms would finish the night with an empty-net goal with 55 seconds left. Danick Martel scored his 1st of the season, from Oliver Lauridsen. The Bears finished with the 38-29 shot advantage.

Recap
A good rebound win from last night. Pheonix Copley (who was called Philipp Grubauer in the three stars) had a great performance to lead the team. Neither team would have much going in the 1st, and there would be no scoring until the 2nd period. In that period, the Bears would get on the board early (2:41 mark) on a power play goal from the power play master. Stanislav Galiev scored his 25th of the season, from Tim Kennedy & Chris Conner. In the 3rd period, the Bears penalty kill would rise to the challenge again and keep the lead. The Bears would finish off the game with an empty-net goal with 1:06 remaining. Casey Wellman scored his 24th of the season, from Cameron Schilling. Pheonix Copley finished with the 25-save shutout (Bears had 29 shots).
Next Game: Friday at St. John's, 6:00
Note: This is the last time the Bears will be playing in Norfolk. Norfolk's team is moving to become the San Diego Gulls as part of the brand-new West Division in the AHL. The "Norfolk Admirals" name will continue as a new ECHL team.

Recap
A disappointing game to say the least. Norfolk didn't play like their record suggests. They controlled the game after their first goal. That first goal would come with 57 seconds left in the 1st period. Max Friberg scored his 14th of the season, from Josh Manson & Mike Sgarbossa. After the 1st, the Admirals had the 9-7 shot advantage. In the 2nd, the Admirals would take complete control. On a power play (at the 3:08) mark, they would make it 2-0. Charles Sarault scored his 7th of the season, from Brandon Montour & Mike Sgarbossa (2nd assist of night). A fight would break out later in the period between Hershey's Liam O'Brien & Norfolk's Nathan McIver.
4:01 before the end of the 2nd, the Admirals would make it 3-0. Matt Bailey scored his 5th of the season, from John Kurtz. After the 2nd, the Admirals would have the 23-17 shot advantage. In the 3rd, the Admirals would add one more. Antoine Laganiere scored his 10th of the season, from Josh Manson (2nd assist of the night) & Louis Leblanc. Towards the end of the game, another fight would break out between Hershey's Kris Newbury & Norfolk's Mark Fistric. The Admirals finished with the 35-24 shot advantage.

Recap
A disappointing game to say the least. Norfolk didn't play like their record suggests. They controlled the game after their first goal. That first goal would come with 57 seconds left in the 1st period. Max Friberg scored his 14th of the season, from Josh Manson & Mike Sgarbossa. After the 1st, the Admirals had the 9-7 shot advantage. In the 2nd, the Admirals would take complete control. On a power play (at the 3:08) mark, they would make it 2-0. Charles Sarault scored his 7th of the season, from Brandon Montour & Mike Sgarbossa (2nd assist of night). A fight would break out later in the period between Hershey's Liam O'Brien & Norfolk's Nathan McIver.
4:01 before the end of the 2nd, the Admirals would make it 3-0. Matt Bailey scored his 5th of the season, from John Kurtz. After the 2nd, the Admirals would have the 23-17 shot advantage. In the 3rd, the Admirals would add one more. Antoine Laganiere scored his 10th of the season, from Josh Manson (2nd assist of the night) & Louis Leblanc. Towards the end of the game, another fight would break out between Hershey's Kris Newbury & Norfolk's Mark Fistric. The Admirals finished with the 35-24 shot advantage.

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.
