Recap
A disappointing outcome to this one. Philipp Grubauer continued his great play, and Pheonix Copley played well in relief. The Bears just couldn't buy a goal, as seems to be the pattern for this season thus far. In the 1st period, the Penguins were given all the power play chances. The Bears were able to survive three power plays. After the 1st, the Penguins had the 9-8 shot advantage. The Penguins would get penalties called them in this 2nd (2 of them), but the Bears couldn't get one past Jeff Zatkoff. The Bears would take a costly penalty with 35 seconds left in the period. 6 seconds later, the Penguins got one past Grubauer. Tom Kostopoulos scored his 6th of the season, from Brian Dumoulin & Conor Sheary. After the 2nd, the Bears had the 17-15 shot advantage.
In the 3rd, right before a 8 minute period where 6 penalties were given out, Philipp Grubauer came up slow after a great save. Pheonix Copley would have to come on in relief. No goals came from the power plays that were given out during that 8 minute window. The Penguins would get the insurance goal off a Bears turnover with 48 seconds left. Dominik Uher scored his 5th of the season, from Carter Rowney & Tom Kunhhackl. Jeff Zatkoff would finish with a 26-save shutout (Penguins got 23 shots on goal).

Recap
33 seconds away from a shutout. Philipp Grubauer has been playing well this season, and he was that close to another shutout. The way the 1st period started, it looked like it could be a rough game. Norfolk dominated for most of the period, but didn't come away with anything. After the 1st, the Admirals had the 9-2 shot advantage. In the 2nd, the fortunes turned in the Bears direction. After getting through a 5-on-3 penalty kill, the Bears were able to get on the board first. Garrett Mitchell scored his 1st of the season, from Kris Newbury.
Even though they couldn't capitalize on a power play, they were able to take a 2-0 lead into intermission with 14 seconds left. Casey Wellman scored his 9th of the season, from Kris Newbury (2nd assist of the night) & Tomas Kundratek. After the 2nd, the Bears had the 18-17 shot advantage. Norfolk would do the same as the Bears in the previous period, and survive a 5-on-3 penalty kill. However, their rally would start a little too late, as they would score with 33 seconds left in the game. Louis Leblanc scored his 11th of the season, from Brendan Bell & Chris Wagner. The Bears would finished with the 24-21 shot advantage.

Recap
It's good to get 3 points out of a possible 4 on the weekend, but it could have been 4 out of 4 easily. Some timely mistakes gave Binghamton that extra point. Just like the previous game against Binghamton, the penalties were coming left and right. The only fight of the night occurred in the 1st, as it was between Binghamton's Alex Guptill and Hershey's Garrett Mitchell. Close to the end of a power play, at the 16:02 mark, the Bears got on the board. Dustin Gazley scored his 4th of the season, from Tomas Kundratek & Mike Cajkovsky (first AHL point). More than a minute later, the Bears increased their lead to two. Chris Brown scored his 8th of the season, from Chris Conner & Connor Carrick. After the 1st, the Senators had the 12-5 shot advantage.
In the 2nd, the Senators started to get those shots into the back of the net. Their first goal was only 1:31 into the period. Fredrik Claesson got his 3rd of the season, from Shane Prince & Carter Camper. Close to halfway through the period, and shortly after the Senators killed off a penalty, they were able to tie the game. Cole Schneider scored his 10th of the season, from Carter Camper (2nd assist of the night) & Shane Prince (2nd assist of the night). However, on a power play at the 17:48 mark, the Bears were able to retake the lead. Kris Newbury scored his 11th of the season, from Stanislav Galiev & Connor Carrick (2nd assist of the night). After the 2nd, Binghamton had the 22-16 shot advantage.
The 3rd did not have a whole lot going on. Binghamton's David Dziurzynski was charged with a double minor for high-sticking, but the Bears couldn't capitalize. However, when a penalty was charged to the Bears, the Senators were able to capitalize to tie the game at 3. Alex Grant scored his 4th of the season, from Chris Wideman & Shane Prince (3rd assist of the night). In the overtime period, the Senators were able to take advantage of a rush, and won the game 4-3. Ryan Dzingel scored his 8th of the season, from Fredrik Claesson (2nd point of the night). The Senators finished with the 31-25 shot advantage.

Recap
Another disappointing game, but at least they got a point out of this one. Both goalies played very well, with the opposing goalie playing just a bit better. In the 1st period, on a power play, Springfield was able to get on the board first. Austin Madaisky scored his 9th of the season, from T.J. Tynan & Luke Adam. After the 1st, the Falcons had the 10-6 shot advantage. In the 2nd, the Bears picked up their play and played just like last night's game. However, at the 5:34 mark, they were able to finally get a goal. Chandler Stephenson scored his 3rd of the season, from Dane Byers & Tomas Kundratek. After the 2nd, the Bears had the 20-18 shot advantage.
In the 3rd, the chances for both teams were numerous (including a power play for each), but Philipp Grubauer & Anton Forsberg stopped all the shots in the period. In the overtime period, the new rules with 4-on-4 and 3-on-3 proved that many scoring chances will be had. The Bears had some great chances, but a bounce here and there kept the puck from the back of the net. However, with one mistake, the Falcons were able to get a breakaway and win the game. T.J. Tynan scored his 3rd of the season (2nd point of the night), from Jaime Sifers & Frederic St. Denis. The Bears finished with the 35-28 shot advantage.

Recap
This is easily the most disappointing game of the season. The way the Bears played, they should have been up at least 4-0 by the end of this game. The Phantoms didn't show up until the 3rd period, and yet they came away with a win. The 1st period only had one event (a penalty against Lehigh Valley), and Hershey completely dominated. It was easily the best period that the Bears played all season, and they had nothing to show for it. After the 1st, the Bears had the 16-1 (you're reading that right, one) shot advantage.
In the 2nd, the Bears continued their domination, but one bad pass ruined the game for them. The Phantoms were able to get a shorthanded goal on one of the penalties against them. Jason Akeson scored his 4th of the season, from Brett Hextall. After the 2nd, the Bears had the 24-6 shot advantage. In the 3rd, the Phantoms woke up and played well, but the Bears still had the best scoring chances. The Phantoms were able to add insult to injury with an empty-netter with 2 seconds left. Jason Akeson scored his 2nd of the night (5th of the season), from Darroll Powe. Anthony Stolarz, who wouldn't have played if it weren't for an injury on the Flyers (requiring a call-up from the Phantoms), finished with the 32-save shutout (Phantoms finished with 18 shots).
Next Game: Tomorrow vs. Springfield, 7:00
Note: The game tomorrow night will possibly start later than 7:00. There will be a pre-game ceremony for the 3rd class of the Hershey Bears Hockey Hall of Fame, and that could push the game time.

Recap
The Bears should be happy with getting a point in this game. It looked as if they would lose in regulation, but they got it to overtime somehow. The first period only had one penalty occur, and no scoring (much different from last night's game). After the 1st, the Penguins had the 6-5 shot advantage. In the 2nd, the scoring and penalties picked up. On their 2nd power play early in the period, the Bears took the 1-0 lead. Connor Carrick scored his 4th of the season, from Tim Kennedy & Stanislav Galiev. Later in the period, on a power play, the Penguins tied it up. Jean-Sebastien Dea scored his 8th of the season, from Josh Archibald & Tom Kostopoulos.
Only 38 seconds later, at the 16:24 mark, the Penguins took the lead. Dominik Uher scored his 4th of the season, from Adam Payerl & Reid McNeill. After the 2nd, the Penguins had the 19-13 shot advantage. In the 3rd, each team survived a few penalties in a matter of a couple minutes. It looked as if the Penguins would win the game...but with 2.7 seconds left, the Bears somehow tied it at 2. Chris Brown scored his 7th of the season, from Dane Byers. Hershey wasn't able to get anything going in overtime, and although Philipp Grubauer made a great save to stop the Penguins' first shot, he couldn't stop the second one. Adam Payerl scored his 1st of the season (2nd point of the night), from Conor Sheary & Derrick Pouliot. The Penguins finished with the 29-22 shot advantage.
