Recap
After the Bears were shut out by St. John's last Sunday, they returned the favor by shutting them out in this one. Philipp Grubauer continues to have a great few games, as he was lights out in this one. The 1st period gave each team a power play chance, but neither could capitalize. There was also a fight in the period between Hershey's Kris Newbury and the IceCaps' Will O'Neill. After the 1st, the IceCaps had the 10-8 shot advantage.
In the 2nd, due to two power plays, St. John's had the chances to score. Grubauer made sure that it stayed scoreless. After the 2nd, the IceCaps had the 25-14 shot advantage. At the start of the 3rd, the Bears were on the power play due to a penalty at the end of the 2nd. For the 3rd straight game, Stanislav Galiev got a goal on a power play (4th of the season), from Philippe Cornet & Tim Kennedy. Even with St. John's having 3 more power plays, the penalty kill and Philipp Grubauer stood strong. Grubauer finished with the 33-save shutout. Hershey finished with 21 shots on goal.

Recap
What was a close-fought game between two good teams turned into a mess very quickly. The 1st period continued to show how the Bears' goalies have been outstanding, but can't stop everything. Syracuse took the lead at the 6:06 mark. Philippe Paradis scored his 6th of the season, from Yanni Gourde & Joey Mormina. Each team had a couple power play chances, but they couldn't capitalize. At the end of the period, the Crunch had the 13-10 shot advantage.
In the 2nd, each team had many chances on the power play, and two fights. The 1st fight was between Hershey's Joel Broda and Syracuse's Jean-Philippe Cote. The 2nd fight was between Hershey's Erik Burgdoerfer and Syracuse's Tanner Richard. Syracuse got 2 extra minutes for that fight, and on that power play, the Bears tied it up. Stanislav Galiev scored his 3rd of the season, from Connor Carrick & Tim Kennedy. After the 2nd, the shot advantage was tied at 21.
In the 3rd, the Crunch started off early. Cody Kunyk scored his 3rd of the season, from Joel Vermin. On the 2nd power play that was given to the Crunch in the period, they made it 3-1. Cody Kunyk scored once again (4th of the season), from Joey Mormina (2nd assist of the night). That broke the 25-penalty streak that the Bears penalty kill had of not giving up a goal. Syracuse sealed the game with an empty-net goal with 56 seconds left. Jonathan Marchessault got his 8th of the season, from Yanni Gourde (2nd assist of the night). The Crunch finished with the 37-29 shot advantage.

Recap
I got to see this game in person, so that's why the blog post is a little later than normal. It truly was a uneventful game for such a heated rivalry. However, that doesn't mean it wasn't important to get the win, and that's what the Bears did. The first period only had one event, and that was Hershey's Caleb Herbert getting charged with hooking. After the 1st, the shots were tied at 8. In the 2nd, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton controlled play for a good amount of the period, but neither team were able to get anything on their power play. A fight did break out in the period between Hershey's Nathan Walker and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's Josh Archibald. After the 2nd, the Pens had the 15-13 shot advantage.
In the 3rd, there were a few more penalties, and in that case, more chances to score. The Bears were finally able to get on the board with a power play goal at the 8:53 mark. Stanislav Galiev scored his 2nd of the season, from Connor Carrick & Tim Kennedy. Both teams continued to have chances, but it look like nothing would get past Philipp Grubauer. That would be proven wrong with 51 seconds to go. Brian Dumoulin scored his 2nd of the season, from Scott Wilson & Andrew Ebbett. Going into overtime, the shots were tied at 23. The overtime period has fast-paced action, but not a lot of good shots were able to be taken. The Bears finished with the 27-25 shot advantage. In the shootout, Hershey's Dustin Gazley and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's Jean-Sebastien Dea were able to score in the 2nd round. Hershey's Chris Brown in the 4th round, and Philipp Grubauer stopped Andrew Ebbett to win the game for the Bears.

Recap
After shutting out the Sharks last night, the Bears get shut out by the IceCaps tonight. Hershey had plenty of opportunities to get goals, but Connor Hellebuyck had a performance that rivaled Philipp Grubauer's from last night. The 1st period had some tough playing, as all 4 penalties in the period were for roughing (3 were against the Bears). Before the 2nd of the penalties, St. John's got on the board. Carl Klingberg scored his 5th of the season, from Chase Balisy & Julien Brouillette. After that period, the Bears had the 8-6 shot advantage.
In the 2nd, the Bears had a couple power play chances, but weren't able to capitalize, even with the 16 shots in the period. At the 11:45 mark, the IceCaps made it 2-0. Chase Balisy scored his 6th of the season (2nd point of the night), from John Albert & Carl Klingberg. After the 2nd, the Bears had the 24-17 shot advantage. In the 3rd, even though the Bears were able to kill off their penalties, they still weren't able to get past Hellebuyck. He finished with a 33-save shutout.

Recap
Another brilliant game for Philipp Grubauer, and this time, it was a win. He made some spectacular saves through the entire game, and Hershey just did enough to help him. The tension in the game started off early with a fight 55 seconds in between Hershey's Dane Byers & Worcester's Taylor Doherty. Hershey would receive two penalties in the period along with the fight, but the penalty kill continued its great success on them. At the 16:38 mark, Hershey got on the board. Chris Brown scored his 3rd of the season, from Tomas Kundratek & Chandler Stephenson. After the 1st, the Sharks had the 11-8 shot advantage.
The 2nd, even though there weren't many penalties to show for it, became a little chippy. Due to that, there wasn't a great number of chances, but when there was, Grubauer made sure to keep his clean sheet. After one of his great saves, a fight broke out between Hershey's Steve Oleksy & Worcester's Jimmy Bonneau. After that period, the Sharks had the 19-14 shot advantage. In the 3rd, with one penalty given out to each team, there was the chance for scoring, especially on the Sharks' end. They doubled their shot total in one period to 38, but Grubauer saved every single one of them. Hershey finished with 20 shots.

Recap
What an interesting game. After how the 1st period went, the fact that the Bears came back and got a point out of this game is a testament to this team. Starting off early in the 1st, at the 3:21 mark, Lehigh Valley got on the board. Former Bear Andrew Gordon scored his 4th of the season, from Blair Jones & Robert Hagg. 3 and a half minutes later, Lehigh Valley made it 2-0. Brandon Manning scored his 4th of the season, from Petr Straka. Philipp Grubauer was a big part of why this period wasn't any worse, as he made 18 saves in the period. After the 1st, the Phantoms had the 20-9 shot advantage.
In the 2nd, the Bears played with a much better attitude and style. They couldn't score on their first power play chance, but they did on their 2nd chance. At the 17:12 mark, Dane Byers scored his 4th of the season, from Chris Conner & Kris Newbury. After the 2nd, the Phantoms had the 25-19 shot advantage. Early in the 3rd, at the 3:30 mark, the Bears tied it at 2. Kris Newbury scored his 10th of the season, from Connor Carrick & Dane Byers (2nd point of the night). The Phantoms had the 32-28 shot advantage going into overtime. With the new overtime rules, the play was fast-paced and hectic. The Bears penalty kill stepped away and helped the team survive a 4-on-3 power play. The Phantoms finished with the 39-29 shot advantage. In the shootout (now 3 rounds with the new rules), the only person to score was Lehigh Valley's Blair Jones. Philipp Grubauer took the loss in a great 37-save performance.

Recap
The Bears needed this win. They had been struggling the past few games, but they got one in the win column tonight. Plenty of chances came to the Bears in the 1st period, but the Pens were able to get the one goal. At the 11:14 mark, Jayson Megna scored his 7th of the season, from Reid McNeill & Scott Wilson. After the 1st, the Bears had the 12-4 shot advantage. Starting off quickly in the 2nd, 38 seconds in, the Pens got the 2-0 lead. Jayson Megna scored his 2nd of the game (8th of the season). After the Pens got their first penalty of the period, the Bears scored on the power play to cut the lead in half. Philippe Cornet scored his 4th of the season, from Tim Kennedy & Connor Carrick.
After a number of penalties for each team (including a missed penalty shot by the Pens), the Bears were able to score once again on the power play. Connor Carrick scored his 3rd of the season (2nd point of the night), from Tim Kennedy (2nd assist of the night) & Stanislav Galiev. After 34 penalty minutes were given out at the same time, the Bears received a penalty shot. Chandler Stephenson scored his 2nd of the season on the penalty shot. After the 2nd, the Bears had the 26-14 shot advantage. In the 3rd, the Bears had numerous chances to score, but almost every shot hit the post. It wouldn't matter, however, as the Pens wouldn't be able to get a shot past Philipp Grubauer in the period. The Bears finished with the 35-18 shot advantage. There were 21 penalties (84 minutes) given out in the game.
