LAST TIME OUT:

The Hershey Bears enter tonight's contest having won five straight games, and on a six-game point streak (5-0-1-0) after earning a 2-1 victory in overtime versus Bridgeport last night at GIANT Center. Both teams were unable to light the lamp through the first 40 minutes last night. The Islanders broke through at 3:34 of the third period when Vincent Sevigny stepped into a shot near the left circle and beat Hershey goaltender Hunter Shepard to put the visitors up 1-0. Hershey's Hendrix Lapierre tied the game for Hershey at 1-1, sliding a shot through the legs of Bridgeport goalie Corey Schneider at 8:09. With the game tied at the end of regulation, the Bears went on the power play 1:58 into overtime, and with Hershey on the 4-on-3 man advantage, Sam Anas beat Schneider with a wrist shot from the right circle at 2:46. The Rocket were in action last night at Lehigh Valley, falling 3-2 to the Phantoms. Laval got goals from Jesse Ylonen and Justin Barron in the defeat.

LAPIERRE LIGHTING UP:

Hershey forward Hendrix Lapierre scored his second goal of the season last night, and his first marker in eight games to help guide Hershey to a victory over the Islanders. The rookie forward has points in three straight games for Hershey, striking for 4 points (1g, 3a) in that span. The Gatineau, Quebec native has eight points (2g, 6a) in 11 games in his rookie campaign with Hershey.

WELCOME BACK BOWEY:

If he dresses this evening for Laval, tonight would mark the return of former Hershey defender Madison Bowey. Now a member of Laval, Bowey played for Hershey from 2015-18, skating in 113 games over three seasons, collecting 51 points (9g, 42a). In the 2015-16 season, Bowey led all Bears defensemen in points (29) and assists (25), was named as Hershey's Defenseman of the Year and won the John Travers/Steve Summers Award for the highest plus/minus on the team. He also skated in 31 career playoff games for the Chocolate and White, striking for 10 points (2g, 8a) and helping Hershey to the 2016 Calder Cup Finals. Bowey was part of Washington's 2018 Stanley Cup title, and has three points (1g, 2a) in 12 games with the Rocket this season.

SCOUTING THE ROCKET:

The Rocket hold a 3-7-3-0 record entering tonight's game, good for 6th in the North Division. Laval has surrendered an Eastern Conference-high 50 goals so far this season and are just 1-4-0-0 on the road. Anthony Richard, who scored the overtime-winning goal in Laval's victory at Utica on Friday, leads the club with 12 points (8g, 4a), while Jesse Ylonen is the team's top marksman on the power play with three goals. Hershey went 0-2-0-0 versus Laval last season with Rocket returner Rafael Harvey-Pinard leading the way with 4 points (3g, 1a) versus the Bears, including a goal on a penalty shot.

BEARS BITES:
