Just as the WBS Penguins stormed out of the gates on Friday night in Game 1 of their Round 1 series to take the early advantage, the Hershey Bears stormed out of the gates on Sunday afternoon to set the tone and take the advantage of Game 2. They rode that advantage to a 2-1 victory in front of a Mother’s Day crowd of 8,843 at GIANT Center, and now the series shifts back to Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza tonight for the decisive Game 3.
One change for the Penguins from their Game 1 lineup: forward Sam Houde took the place of Jonathan Gruden.
