November 5, 2019
CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE HERSHEY BEARS WEEKLY RELEASE #5
The Hershey Bears opened the month of November by earning a pair of victories on home ice last weekend, improving the team’s record to 6-4-1-1 through the first 12 games of the 2019-20 campaign. The Chocolate and White’s success leads them into a week where they’ll once again play three games in three nights, visiting Atlantic Division leader Hartford on Friday, playing at Lehigh Valley on Saturday, and finishing the weekend by hosting the Phantoms at Giant Center on Sunday evening.
Hershey opened last week with an 8-1 loss at Springfield. Axel Jonsson-Fjallby scored the lone goal for the Bears. The loss marked the first time Hershey surrendered eight goals in a game since Oct. 20, 2012, an 8-7 loss to Rochester.
The Bears bounced back Saturday night at Giant Center with a 5-3 win over divisional rival Providence. Erik Burgdoerfer, Shane Gersich, and Garrett Pilon all scored their first goals of the season in the victory while the Bears penalty kill scored a shorthanded goal and went a perfect 6-for-6 on the evening.
Hershey finished the week with a 4-2 victory over Syracuse at Giant Center. Matt Moulson added a pair of first period goals, while Beck Malenstyn and Mike Sgarbossa also scored. The win ended Syracuse’s 17-game point streak in the month of November that dated back to the 2017-18 season.
