The Hershey Bears, two-time defending champions, are facing a crucial elimination game after losing 4-2 to the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, putting them at a 2-1 disadvantage in the Atlantic Division Semifinals. The Bears struggled with their power play, allowing another shorthanded goal, which indicated urgent issues in their play style. Despite attempts to regain momentum with goals from Andrew Perrott and top-scorer Ivan Miroshnichenko, the team must regroup and adapt before their next match to avoid falling out of the playoffs.
Thereâs no question our power play is going to be shaken up a bit. It will definitely be a different look on Friday for sure.
Well right now it's do or die. We have to come back and try to get a win Friday.
Jacob Gaucher's shorty marked the third shorthanded goal the Bears have given up in the last two games, indicating a major concern.
Andrew Perrott scored his first career AHL playoff goal in his AHL playoff debut, sending a one-timer through the goalieâs five-hole.
