Hershey Bears News Release
After a 4-3 shootout victory Friday night in Philadelphia, the BEARS return home Saturday to face the Phantoms in the back half of a home-and-home series. HERSHEY is also in search tonight of the club's 30th win of the season.
The BEARS bolted out to a 3-0 lead Friday night in the first period on goals scored by Jakub Klepis, Colin Forbes and Tomas Fleischmann. Fleischmann's goal was scored short-handed late in the first to give HERSHEY a three goal advantage. The Phantoms would chip away and tie the game in the third period on a goal by Stefan Ruzicka to force overtime and a shootout. The BEARS won a shootout for just the third time this season when Klepis scored in the fourth round and Marc Cavosie missed against Frederic Cassivi. Cassivi's win was his 21st of the season, tying him with three other goaltenders for the American Hockey League lead.
Tonight's game is the seventh of 12 meetings between the two clubs, with HERSHEY collecting points in the previous six encounters. Tickets remain for tonight's game at the GIANT Center box office, or by calling (717) 508-BEAR.
