Ivan Miroshnichenko started the scoring for Hershey just 1:37 into the first period for an early 1-0 Bears lead. Cleveland’s Luca Del Bel Belluz capitalized on the power play at 11:25 with Jordan Dumais and Luca Pinelli on the assists to make it a 1-1 game through 20 minutes. Bears forward Ilya Protas added a tally at 16:16 of the second frame to give Hershey the 2-1 lead heading into the final period. Tate Singleton notched another for the Monsters to tie the game 2-2 at 1:29 of the third stanza with Jack Williams on the assist to send the game into overtime. 2:57 into extra time, Williams scored the game winner for Cleveland with Owen Sillinger and Corson Ceulemans on the helpers to seal the 3-2 win.

Cleveland’s Zach Sawchenko made 28 saves for the win while Hershey’s Mitch Gibson made 33 saves in defeat.
