Notes for Hershey-Wilkes/Barre game 6

In the last 9 games of this post-season, the Bears, with Justin Peters in net in each of those outings, have given up only one first period goal (Daniel Sprong :45 into game one of this series).

Justin Peters, in this post-season: has played the most minutes (583:02), faced the most shots (262), made the most saves (248), leads in shutouts (2), tied for most wins (6), and has the second best save percentage (.947, although the leader, Toronto’s Garret Sparks has played 436:52 seconds less, and has faced 190 less shots).

Hershey has outscored the Pens 5-1 in the 1st period in this series.

The Bears have scored at least one special teams goals in each of the games in this series that they have scored a goal.

Jakub Vrana has scored a goal in 3 of Hershey’s 4 road outings, and has assisted on 3 of the their game winning goals, and scored 1 as well.

Hershey’s six game winning goals have been scored by 6 different players: Riley Barber, Travis Boyd, Ryan Stanton, Sean Collins, Vrana, and Zach Sill.

4 of Sill’s 8 career Calder Cup Playoff goals have been game winners, including his shorthanded tally on Wednesday night.

Sill's multi-point effort on Wednesday night (1G-2A), was the 2nd of his AHL post-season career in 70 outings. The only other occurrence was when he was a WBS Penguin on 5/2/13 against Binghamton, a game in which he also had a shorthanded goal and added a helper. 

With the exception of Riley Barber, every Bears forward who has appeared in this series has registered at least a point.

Defenseman Erik Burgdoerfer, who has played in every Bears game this post-season, is the only Hershey skater who has failed to register a point.

Hershey’s defensemen have factored into the scoring on 16 of their 25 goals in the post-season, including 5 of their 6 game winners.
