A critical week for the Bears ended on a thud. In need of wins in their last three-in-three of the year, Hershey came away with four of a possible six points.
Following the weekend’s action, the Bears are 17 points behind Charlotte for the last spot in the Atlantic Division. They have 20 points left that they can gain, and they play Charlotte twice in three weeks.
The week started with great news: Madison Bowey returned to Hershey from his extended stay with Washington. Since Bowey is still exempt from waivers, and the Capitals got two defenders at the trade deadline, he was the odd one out on the roster.
