(Cleveland, OH) - Joe Snively scored twice as the Hershey Bears (40-16-5-4) picked up a 4-1 victory over the Cleveland Monsters (29-28-5-2) on Saturday night at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. The win extended Hershey's current point streak to eight games (6-0-0-2), matching the club's season-high (6-0-2-0, Jan. 8-28).
Snively scored with a 5-on-3 man advantage to put Hershey up 1-0 in the first period, notching his eighth of the season from Mike Sgarbossa and Mike Vecchione at 5:59.
Aaron Ness then forced a breakout from the defensive zone that led to a 2-on-1 rush with Vecchione that ended with Ness' fourth of the season at 11:52.
The Bears extended the lead in the second period on another odd-man rush that resulted in Riley Sutter finding twine for his fifth of the season at 14:05 from Shane Gersich and Mason Morelli.
Snively potted his second of the night at 3:32 of the third from Connor McMichael and Bobby Nardella to push Hershey's lead to four goals. McMichael's assist extended his season-high point streak to nine games (3g, 6a).
The Monsters spoiled Hunter Shepard's shutout bid at 14:50 with a goal from Tyler Angle.
Shots finished even at 25 apiece. Shepard went 24-for-25 for Hershey to earn his fifth consecutive victory and his 18th of the season; Jet Greaves was 21-for-25 for Cleveland. The Bears were 1-for-3 on the power play; the Monsters finished 0-for-5 with the man advantage.
