LAST TIME OUT:

The Hershey Bears had a four-game win streak snapped on Wednesday evening in a 4-1 loss at Lehigh Valley. Hershey surrendered three goals in the first period, including a pair from rookie Tyson Foerster. Kody Clark had Hershey's lone goal with a third period power play marker at 7:01, but it was the Phantoms who earned their fifth win over the Bears this season. The Devils are coming off a 3-2 overtime loss on Wednesday versus Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. Rookie Nolan Foote had a goal and an assist for the Devils.

CLARK WITH A SPARK:

Hershey winger Kody Clark enters today's game as the club's leader in goals with seven. The second-year pro has scored in two of his past three games, and Clark's power play goal in Wednesday's loss was his second marker on the man-advantage this season. The 2018 Washington 2nd rounder has collected five points (4g, 1a) in six games versus Binghamton this season. Tonight is Clark's 50th professional game, and the 6'3' forward has nine points this season through 18 games, the same number of points he had in 31 contests last year.

THE VIPER ARRIVES:

Hershey forward Aliaksei Protas made his AHL debut on Wednesday in Allentown. The 6'6" center was Washington's 3rd round selection, 91st overall, in the 2019 NHL Draft. Protas was linemates with Hershey teammate Brett Leason with the Western Hockey League champion Prince Albert Raiders in 2018-19, and the duo was reunited on a line on Wednesday. Protas played in Russia this season in his first professional campaign, registering 18 points (10g, 8a) for Dinamo Minsk of the KHL.

POWER PLAY ON THE WAY:

Hershey's power play enters today's game with goals in four straight contests, the club's longest string of success on the man-advantage this season. The Bears are 4-for-14 (28.6%) in the recent stretch, getting goals from Matt Moulson (2), Kody Clark (1), and Joe Snivley (1). Hershey's power play now sits at 16.1% on the season, and overall in the season series versus the Devils, the Bears are 3-for-18 (16.7%).
