LAST TIME OUT:

The Bears dropped a 3-2 contest at Bridgeport yesterday, moving the team's winless streak on the road to six games. Hershey opened the scoring at 9:21 of the first period as defender Martin Fehervary scored his third goal of the season. Joe Snively briefly gave the Bears a 2-1 lead in the second period, but less than two minutes later Mason Jobst tied the game with his first AHL goal at 6:56. Veteran Bridgeport forward Andrew Ladd was credited with the game-winning goal at 12:08 of the middle frame, deflecting a shot past Hershey's Pheonix Copley on the power play. The P-Bruins earned a point last night, falling in Springfield, 5-4, in overtime. Forward Joona Koppanen had a goal and an assist.

Despite not being awarded a power play that night, the Bears upended the Baby Pens on the road, 5-2. Current St. Louis Blues forward Zach Sanford had the game-winning goal and also added an assist.
