A Victory Against Atlantic Divison Foe

Saturday night brought out the physical play for the Springfield Falcons and Hershey Bears. The teams combined for only 7 power plays but there were 20 different penalties called. Almost all the penalties came in the second period and none in the third period. At one point in the second the Falcons had 5 guys in the penalty box and the Bears had 6 in. 11 players in the penalty box at one time! Must have been a good period to watch.

Kyle Wilson tallied a hat trick and Grant Potulney and Scott Barney added a goal each as the Bears cruised to a 5-1 victory at The Giant Center in Hershey. Wilson also added an assist for a 4 point night. Joe Motzko assisted on all of Wilson's goals. Freddie Cassivi got his first win since December 19 with a 24 save effort.

Jay Beagle returned to the lineup and ended the game with a shot on goal.

Next up for the Bears are the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins tonight in Hershey.

Go BEARS!!!!
