The week opened in a bad way for the Bears, dropping a game 5-1 to the Hartford Wolf Pack. Dan Ellis remained in for the whole game, stopping 27 of 32 shots.
Brady Skeji and former Hershey Bear Chris Brown put the Wolf Pack in front 2-0 before the Bears could respond with their lone goal of the contest.
Riley Barber collected a Chris Bourque pass in the slot before chipping a shot over Magnus Hellburg to crawl within one before the third period.
Unfortunately, that would be all the Bears got, as Marek Hrivik (PP), Nicklas Jensen, and Tyler Brown tallied for the home side at the XL Center.
