After losing to the Phantoms on Sunday, the Hershey Bears had a chance for redemption in a Wednesday night battle in the Lehigh Valley. The matchup was even more important as the Bears are looking to get back into a playoff spot. Both teams exchanged goals, but in typical Travis Boyd fashion, he gave the Bears’ two points on the night.
