Recap

Hope everyone is staying safe during this crazy snowstorm. The Bears were able to dominate most of the game (except for the 3rd period), and it was enough to help Dan Ellis in his shutout. The 1st period was a quick one, with barely any stoppages. However, one of those stoppages would be the 1st goal on the board for Hershey. Mike Moore scored his 3rd of the season, from Paul Carey & Chris Bourque. After the 1st, the Bears had the 14-12 shot advantage.

In the 2nd, the Bears would distance themselves from the Senators. They dominated in the shot totals of the period, and it showed on the scoreboard. At the 10:13 mark, the lead increased to two. Chris Bourque scored his 19th of the season, from Scott Gomez (1st AHL point) & Paul Carey (2nd assist of night). Around 3 minutes later, the score would be 3-0. Scott Gomez scored his 1st AHL goal (2nd point of night), from Chris Bourque (2nd assist/3rd point of night) & Paul Carey (3rd assist of night). At the 15:44 mark, it was 4-0. Travis Boyd scored his 8th of the season, from Nathan Walker & Sean Collins. The 3rd period would be dominated by the Senators, but Ellis stopped all their shots for a 31-save shutout (Bears finished with 31 shots).

Next Game: Sunday vs. Bridgeport, 5:00

Note: Tomorrow night's game at home versus the Phantoms has been postponed due to the snowstorm. It is rescheduled for Monday at 7:00.
