"The Hershey Bears completed their four-game road trip out of the All-Star break with a big 3-2 victory over the Toronto Marlies on Wednesday. Puck drop for the "school-day game" was at 11 am. After the Bears fell behind 2-0, surrendering goals to the Marlies' Luke Haymes and Alex Nylander, Washington Capitals prospect Ivan Miroshnichenko took over. In a 13:39 span, Miro scored twice and had three points total in the Bears' comeback win."
"Miroshnichenko's first point of the day came on a power-play goal with 1:08 remaining in the second period. Taking a pass from Ilya Protas at the point, Miroshnichenko wheeled around the left circle and fired a snap shot that handcuffed Marlies goaltender Dennis Hildeby. Ivan Miroshnichenko power-play goal The Bears then tied the game 2-2, 10:42 into the third period, after Ilya Protas lit the lamp for a team-leading 19th time this season. Miroshnichenko earned the primary assist after pivoting hard to the net and firing a no-look backhand on Hildeby. The Marlies goaltender made the initial save, but Protas, hiding out at the side of the net, fired the rebound into the yawning cage."
""He worked, and when he does that, he's an effective player," Bears head coach Derek King said, "but he's got to do that every shift.""
