Overview

  • The Penguins, who won 4-1 Thursday in Game 4 at GIANT Center, clinched the best-of-five 3-1 and ended the Bears’ season.
  • A 10-second swing turned the game when Hershey rookie Andrew Cristall missed a wide-open net on the power play and Harrison Brunicke scored shorthanded on the rush.
  • Sergei Murashov stopped 37 of 38 shots as Hershey outshot WBS 38-30, while Clay Stevenson made 26 saves on 29 shots for the Bears.
  • Ville Koivunen finished a 3-on-1 for a third-period insurance goal and Gabe Klassen added an empty-netter to seal it.
