The Hershey Bears beat the Toronto Marlies 3-2 on Saturday afternoon at Ricoh Coliseum in Toronto. The win finishes a rather impressive dismantling of the AHL’s best team during the regular season, taking the Eastern Conference Final series four games to one. The win punches the Bears’ ticket to the Calder Cup Finals, the first time since 2010. The Bears will face the Lake Erie Monsters for the Calder Cup.
The starting offensive lines for the Bears:
C. Bourque-Boyd-Vrana,
Walker-Camper-Barber,
O’Brien-Stephenson-Mitchell,
R. Bourque-Sill-Gazley.
Riley Barber returned to starting lineup after being a healthy scratch for the first four games of the series. Sean Collins was the scratch for the Bears. Justin Peters once again started in net for the Bears.
FIRST PERIOD
The Bears Jakub Vrana would be awarded a penalty shot at 6:22 of the opening frame, but Vrana would be unable to convert.
