Tlusty did not return to the game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoBodyText\" style=\"0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"12.0pt;\">Ryan Hamilton\u2019s holding penalty in the Hershey defensive zone on Hershey\u2019s captain, Bryan Helmer, led to the Bears finally getting on the board at 3:32, when Alexandre Giroux struck for his 51<sup>st<\/sup> goal of the season, and 20<sup>th<\/sup> strike on the power play.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoBodyText\" style=\"0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"12.0pt;\">With Dean Arsene out of position while trying to exact revenge on Alex Foster, who had nailed Kyle Wilson with a stiff check seconds earlier, the Marlies quickly regained the lead at 4:41 when Todd Perry beat Neuvirth. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoBodyText\" style=\"0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"12.0pt;\">Keith Aucoin\u2019s turnover in the Hershey defensive zone, led to Chris Bourque\u2019s holding penalty, and ultimately to Deveaux\u2019s second power play marker of the affair at 9:36, giving the Marlies a 3-1 lead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"12.0pt;\">Aucoin atoned for his defensive faux pas, beating Marlies\u2019 netminder, Justin Pogge, with a wrist shot from the top of the right circle at 13:22, to cut his team\u2019s deficit to a single goal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"12.0pt;\">\u201cI tried to get off as quick as I could.<span style=\"yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>I don\u2019t think he (Pogge) saw it right away.<span style=\"yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>I think his defenseman screened him and he saw it at the last second, but it was too late,\u201d said Aucoin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"12.0pt;\">Immediately after Aucoin\u2019s goal, Kip Brennan, appearing in his first game at Giant Center since February 7<sup>th<\/sup>, shook things up a bit when he and former Norfolk Admiral, Jay Rosehill squared off.<span style=\"yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>Brennan\u2019s narrow victory in the tussle seemed to inspire his teammates to score 46 seconds later, tying the game at three.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"12.0pt;\">Pogge contributed to his own demise by turning the puck over to the Bears\u2019 Jay Beagle deep in Toronto\u2019s zone.<span style=\"yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>Beagle backhanded a no-look pass to Andrew Joudrey, who quickly shoveled the puck into the vacated cage at 14:11.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"12.0pt;\">\u201cActually, I just saw the puck go by me, and I saw the goalie was still kind of in the corner,\u201d said Beagle.<span style=\"yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cI was going to shoot it and at the last minute, I heard Joudrey yell my name and I dished it to him and he put it home.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"12.0pt;\">The teams went into the second intermission deadlocked at three, thanks largely to quality saves late in the period by Pogge (on Giroux), and Neuvirth (on Deveaux).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"12.0pt;\">In the third period, there were not a lot of quality scoring chances for either side, and in fact, it was a low probability shot by Oskar Osala that sealed the deal for Hershey.<span style=\"yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>Osala, after gaining the Toronto zone, unleashed a wicked wrister that sailed by the glove hand of Pogge at 8:15.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"12.0pt;\">Osala, when asked if he was surprised that puck found its target, joked that this goal was not unlike many of his previous 22 tallies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"12.0pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"12.0pt;\">\u201cYou always ask me that after I score,\u201d Osala laughed. \u201cI was surprised this time because I was thinking about it, and I kind of knew I was going to shoot back to the far side. Usually, when you have time to think, it doesn\u2019t work, but I think my wrist shot is harder than my slapshot.<span style=\"yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>Coach always bugs me about that; he always tells me not to take slapshots, but to take wrist shots.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"12.0pt;\">The Bears, steeped in talent this season, proved that they don\u2019t have to always play a full 60 minutes to come out on top as long as they rev it up when their backs are against the wall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"12.0pt;\">\u201cWe didn\u2019t play that good the first period, and Neuvirth made some good saves for us.<span style=\"yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>We came out the second period and played a good 40 minutes to end the game, and that penalty kill at the end was huge.\u201d<span style=\"yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following the same successful formula they utilized during the latter stages of their recent road trip, the Hershey Bears came from behind once again to defeat the Toronto Marlies on Wednesday night at Giant Center, 4-3.
