The Hershey Bears are back in the Calder Cup Finals against a familiar opponent. Hershey won the 12th Calder Cup in franchise history last year against the Coachella Valley Firebirds and will look to win their 13th against that same Firebirds team this year.
The Bears advanced after getting an overtime goal from Garrett Roe in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Coachella Valley made quick work of the Milwaukee Admirals in the Western Conference Finals, advancing after just five games.
Hershey will be without Vincent Iorio, Lucas Johansen, and Aaron Ness on the backend.
Ethen Frank will dress after missing Game 7 against the Cleveland Monsters. Dmitry Osipov makes his Hershey playoff debut due to the injuries on defense.
All fans in attendance at Giant Center will receive free “Repeat The Roar” countdown rally towels.
Tonight’s game is available to watch on Monumental Sports Network and NHL Network. You can also live stream the game on Monumental’s website and via AHL TV’s streaming service.
