Washington Capitals: Hershey Bears Begin Second Round Series in Charlotte this Weekend
After winning their first round series in overtime in the decisive Game 5, the Hershey Bears begin the second round of the Calder Cup playoffs this weekend.
The Hershey Bears will head to Charlotte to take on the Checkers in the Atlantic Division Finals, the AHL affiliate of the Carolina Hurricanes just nine days after the big clubs finished their seven-game first round series.
The Bears got to this point with a 3-2 series win over the Bridgeport Sound Tigers that saw four of the five games be decided beyond regulation with the series being decided in overtime of Game 5 thanks to a goal from Brian Pinho.
