The Hershey Bears moved one step closer to their third appearance in the Calder Cup finals in the last four years, when they dug themselves out of a two-goal hole at Dunkin Donuts Center, and glazed the Providence Bruins in overtime, 3-2.<\/p>\n
The Bruins jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first period, with goals from Peter Schaefer and Jeff Penner.<\/p>\n
Hershey\u2019s captain, Bryan Helmer, who started his team\u2019s comeback from a 2-0 deficit on the road in game two of the Philadelphia series, once again duplicated that feat by scoring his 3rd goal of the playoffs at 7:31 of the second period.<\/p>\n
Keith Aucoin, the former Bruin, tied the game at two at 13:12 with his 3rd goal of the postseason.<\/p>\n
Aucoin\u2019s goal was the last one of regulation, and the game continued into an overtime period, Hershey\u2019s second of the playoffs.<\/p>\n
The hero of the day turned out to be Graham Mink, who tallied at 15:10 of overtime, his 5th marker in 15 playoff contests, and his 3rd game-winner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
