Moulson Leads Bears to Comeback Win

By: John Sparenberg

Matt Moulson once again made the Giant Center the “Moulson Center” Sunday afternoon, leading a third period comeback to give the Hershey Bears their 8th straight triumph, a 3-2 victory over the Springfield Thunderbirds.

Down 2-0 entering the final frame, Moulson gave the Bears their first goal of the game at 1:39, dialing long distance and getting a connection to register his 10th goal of the season.

Six minutes and six seconds after his first strike, Moulson was at it again, wristing another shot that emanated from between the faceoff circles by Philippe Desrosiers on the blocker side with the Bears on the power play, tying the game at 2-2.

Later, Moulson played playmaker on the game-winning goal, putting a long outlet pass onto the tape of a streaking Philippe Maillet at center ice, sending his teammate last season with the Ontario Reign into the Springfield zone on a breakaway. Maillet, whose last goal was a game-winner at Giant Center, added another to his ledger by waiting for Desrosiers to commit before launching a wrist shot by him on the stick side at 10:43.
