- Since coming into the teams' last encounter 1-7-2-0 in their previous ten games, the Bears are 5-0-0-1 in their last six, including a 5-4 win over the Wolf Pack in that last meeting January 25 at the XL Center.

- Hershey's top point-getter, former Wolf Pack Chris Bourque (14-25-39 in 47 GP), has points in six of the Bears' last seven games (5-2-7), to climb into a tie for sixth in the AHL in points.
