Hershey Bears News Release
HERSHEY looks to continue to apply the pressure to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton tonight in a game at Wachovia Arena at 7:05 p.m. The BEARS have won five of seven meetings this season against the Penguins, and can close within four points of a playoff spot with eight games to play.
The two teams met on Sunday at GIANT Center, with the BEARS surrendering a 3-0 lead before winning in regulation 5-3. Martin Hlinka, Jeff Finger and Eric Perrin scored goals in the first period before Marek Svatos scored the game-winner midway through the third. Tom Lawson won his second game in three days by making 33 saves.
HERSHEY has eight regular season games after tonight, with a road game at Philadelphia Friday and a home game against the Bridgeport Sound Tigers Saturday. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton will travel to Albany Friday before hosting Worcester Saturday. The Penguins also must travel to Philadelphia to meet the Phantoms Sunday, which is one of the two games that Wilkes-Barre has in hand on HERSHEY.
Tonight's game can be heard via the BEARS radio network. John Walton and injured HERSHEY defenseman Dean Arsene call the action beginning with the pre-game show at 6:45 p.m.
