The Bears killed off Hartford's 5-on-3 power play early in Hershey's 4-2 victory in Game 2.
BEARS FILE PHOTO: Hershey's Aaron Ness and Hartford's Tyler Pitlick collide during Hershey’s 6-1 win in game 1 of the Atlantic Division finals at the Giant Center, May 16, 2024. Vicki Vellios Briner | Special to PennLiveEthen Frank has been a force, and so has 20-year-old Ivan Miroshnichenko.
Momentum could have changed after two Hershey defensemen, Chase Priskie and Dylan McIlrath , were called for penalties six seconds apart.“It was huge,” Bears coach Todd Nelson said of his team’s play on a 5-on-3 situation that lasted for 1:54. Miroshnichenko has five goals in Hershey’s last three postseason contests. He had a two-goal game vs. Lehigh Valley in Game 4 and a goal in the Bears’ Game 1 over Hartford.
But Game 2 turned on a 5-on-3 power play. Hartford could not convert with a two-man advantage, and the Bears were in control after that.
