Bears dress down Penguins
4-1
By Joe Shetrom, 7641
Sports
joe@7641.com
Thanks to a 3-goal outburst
in the 1st period - including a Dave Steckel short-handed marker
just over a minute into the contest - the Hershey Bears skated
away with a 4-1 win over the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins
before 7,653 Sunday evening at Giant Center. Steckel (2 goals,
1 assist), Jeff Schultz (1G, 1A) and Chris Bourque (PPG, A)
potted the other scores as Hershey (28-8-3-5, 64 points) snapped
a 3-game losing streak to the Penguins while stretching their
lead to 3 points on WBS. Daren Machesney (3-3-1), getting the
nod in goal with Maxime Daigneault on the shelf, earned the
victory with 18 saves on 19 shots. Kyle Brodziak's man-down
strike at 3:10 of the 2nd stood as the Penguins' only goal,
with goaltender Jeff Deslauriers (13-8-2) suffering the defeat
for Wilkes-Barre (28-9-2-3, 61 points).

Indubitably
Dubielewicz turns aside 51
in Sound Tigers' 4-3 SO win over Bears
By Joe Shetrom, 7641
Sports
joe@7641.com
Behind superb goaltending
from Wade Dubielewicz, the Bridgeport Sound Tigers rallied from
a 2-goal deficit to drop the Hershey Bears 4-3 in a shootout
before 9,401 Saturday night at Giant Center. After Eric Fehr
and a pair of Tomas Fleischmann goals gave Hershey a 3-1 lead
at the 1st intermission, Bridgeport would get markers from Robert
Nilsson (5-on-3 PPG at 10:08 of the 2nd) and Eric Boguniecki
(ESG at 13:37 of the 3rd), completing the comeback and forcing
extra frames. Following a scoreless overtime, the two clubs
traded scores in the shootout, with the Sound Tigers (18-17-1-4,
41 points) emerging victors on breakaway markers from Peter
Ferraro, Steve Regier and Allan Rourke. Fleischmann and Matt
Hendricks found the back of the net for Hershey, but it was
not enough as the Bears (27-8-3-5, 62 points) fell to 1-5 in
shootouts this season. Dubielewicz (12-3-4) finished with a
season-high 51 saves in regulation and overtime, and another
3 saves in the breakaway competition as Bridgeport improved
to 4-1-0-0 against the Bears this season. Daren Machesney (2-3-1),
subbing for the injured Maxime Daigneault at the onset of the
3rd stanza, suffered the loss with 20 saves in 25 minutes, and
an additional 2 stops in the shootout.

Home Sweet Home
Bears make it 18 straight
wins over Albany
By Joe Shetrom, 7641
Sports
joe@7641.com
After a five-game road swing
that produced a 1-4 record, the Hershey Bears returned to familiar
surroundings - and familiar results - downing the Albany River
Rats for the 18th consecutive time with a 6-3 victory before
9,383 Sunday night at Giant Center. Quintin Laing paced the
Bears offense with 2 goals and 2 assists, while Dave Steckel
pocketed a pair of scores as Hershey (27-8-3-4, 61 points) moved
into a tie with the Norfolk Admirals for 1st place in the East
Division. Cody McLeod gave the visitors a 1-0 lead just 27 seconds
into the contest, backhanding a rebound past Bears netminder
Maxime Daigneault. Steckel (at 4:23) and Laing (at 5:11), though,
would tally goals less than a minute apart, with Alexandre Giroux
capping the opening frame with his team-leading 30th marker
at 16:24 to give Hershey a 3-1 advantage. Mike Angelidis (power
play at 8:28) and Ben Guite (short-handed at 13:44) would pull
the visitors even during the 2nd stanza, but Dave Steckel's
even strength goal at 15:12 stood as the game-winner. Eric Fehr
(at 9:42) and Laing (empty-netter) provided 3rd period insurance
scores, while Daigneault (12-3-0) finished with 21 saves. Tyler
Weiman (12-7-1), pressed into duty at 16:24 of the 1st - after
starter Justin Peters surrounded 3 goals on 5 shots - suffered
the loss for Albany (18-19-2-1, 39 points) with 16 saves.

Friday night at the Broome County Veterans Memorial Arena in
New York's southern tier. After a scoreless 65 minutes of regulation
and overtime, Kyle Wilson and Eric Fehr would find the back
of the net during the breakaway competition, giving the Bears
(26-7-3-4, 59 points) their first shootout win of the 2006/07
campaign, as well as their first victory of the new year. Goaltender
Maxime Daigneault (13-3-0) turned aside all 30 shots faced through
65 minutes, then turned around and stopped all four attempts
in the shootout for his second shutout of the season. Kelly
Guard (7-11-3) was equally as impressive through regulation
and overtime for Binghamton (11-22-1-4, 27 points), blanking
Hershey on all 39 shots faced before a two-save effort in the
shootout.

Admirals make it two straight
over Bears
Norfolk bests Hershey 3-1
By Joe Shetrom, 7641

For the second time in three
days, the Hershey Bears fell to the Norfolk Admirals on the
road, dropping a 3-1 decision before 5,404 Friday night at The
Scope. Troy Brouwer opened the scoring at 6:21 of the 1st period
with a power play marker, giving the home club a 1-0 lead heading
into the first intermission. Craig MacDonald would bag a pair
of 2nd period man advantage strikes - at 10:20 and 16:39, respectively
- to preserve the lead while Corey Crawford (21-8-1) stopped
25 of 26 shots to inch the Ads (25-8-4-1, 55 points) within
two points of 1st place Hershey (25-6-3-4, 57 points) in the
East Division standings. Joey Tenute registered the Bears' only
tally of the game - extending his goal streak to six games-while
netminder Daren Machesney (2-2-0) suffered the loss with 24
saves.
