11/18/2005 8:19:00 AM - It's the finale of a three game road trip for HERSHEY tonight as the team braves the Schuykill Expressway and meets the Philadelphia Phantoms tonight at the Wachovia Spectrum at 7:05 p.m.
The BEARS enter the game tonight with a 1-0-0-0 series lead over the Phantoms after a 2-1 win at the Spectrum on November 4. HERSHEY also enters this evening's action with points in seven straight games and a hold on second place in the AHL's East Division.
