Marlies Return Favor, Shut Out Bears

The Bears still hold a three games to one lead in the Eastern Conference Finals. Game 5 will be Sunday afternoon from Ricoh. Should the Marlies win, they will push the series back to GIANT Center for Game 6 on Tuesday.

The opening of tonight’s contest might have helped Hershey were their power play able to convert on two chances in the opening period. Both teams looked destined for a scoreless first, but that’s when Erik Burgdoerfer’s clearance only came to the blue line.

Brennan set up Nylander, the first of their two combinations tonight, to put the shot high on Justin Peters.
