The middle game of a three-game, week long battle between the BEARS and Norfolk takes to the ice Saturday night at GIANT Center. Both teams begin the night with 36 points, just one back of front-running Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. The Penguins dropped a 2-1 shootout decision to the Hamilton Bulldogs Friday night at Copps Coliseum.

HERSHEY beat the Admirals Wednesday night 3-2 in overtime at Norfolk Scope to claim the first game of the ten-game season series. Alexandre Giroux scored his 18th goal of the season and Tomas Fleischmann tied the game in the third period with his ninth goal of the year. In sudden death overtime, Jonas Johansson forced a turnover and scored an unassisted goal at 2:43 to claim the game for the Chocolate and White. The Admirals since defeated the Binghamton Senators 5-2 Friday night at Broome County Veterans Memorial Arena.

Tickets remain for tonight's game against Norfolk at the GIANT Center box office, or by calling (717) 508-BEAR. The game can also be heard via the BEARS Radio Network (100.1 FM, 1490-AM, 960-AM) beginning with the pregame show at 6:40 p.m. Norfolk will also be at GIANT Center Sunday night for a 5:00 p.m. start.
