CHARLOTTE, N.C — Beck Malenstyn laid face down in the slot while a scrum ensued on the near side boards. Malenstyn skated towards the locker room and the refs skated towards the time keepers table. After the media timeout, Charlotte’s Dennis Robertson was given a match penalty for an illegal check to the head with his team up a goal and just 5:34 left in the first period.
Hershey’s Jayson Megna would score on the power play to tie the game, but the Checkers would score five of the next six, including four in the third, on their way to take Game 2 by a score of 7-3.
