Daniel Sprong and Casey DeSmith continue to shine as WBS steals home-ice from the Bears.

For the 7th time, the WBS Penguins and Hershey Bears took to the ice in the Calder Cup Playoffs. Hershey overcame a 2-1 series deficit to defeat the Portland Pirates in five games, while WBS swept the Providence Bruins way back on April 23 and had to wait through 10 off days to take the ice again.

Expected #WBSPens Lines:
Mouillierat-Jeffrey-Sprong
Guentzel-Rowney-Kostopoulos
Plachta-Dea-Simon
Archibald-Blueger-Krause — Mike O'Brien (@MikeOBrienWBS) May 4, 2016

With Steve Oleksy and Tom Sestito called up to Pittsburgh for Game 4 against Washington, Adam Krause was inserted into the fourth line to take Sestito's place, and Harrison Ruopp took Oleksy's place alongside Niclas Andersen.
