In the final leg of a three-in-three situation, it was the Charlotte power play that propelled the visitors past Hershey. For the second straight game the Checkers had seven man advantages across the game and converted a staggering four times - two of which came off the stick of Kole Lind.
After surrendering the opening tally nearly 16 minutes into regulation, the Checkers struck twice in the final two minutes of the period to claim the lead and never looked back. It would be five unanswered for Charlotte before the Bears found a response in the waning seconds, but it was too little, too late.
Along with Lind’s two-goal effort on the man advantage, both Chase Priskie and Aleksi Heponiemi picked up two power-play assists on the night, while Grigori Denisenko led all skaters with a trio of helpers.
While the offense garnered much of the spotlight, Joey Daccord put together a strong performance between the pipes to keep a potent Hershey offense at bay. The netminder turned aside 29 of 31, helped his squad kill all three of their times shorthanded and picked up his third win of the season.
