Hershey got its revenge Saturday night.
Scoring two goals in each period, the Bears rolled past the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, 6-2, at the Giant Center in Atlantic Division play. Earlier in the week, the Penguins visited the Giant Center and left with a 6-3 victory.
Despite the loss, the Penguins (15-5-1-0) remain one point ahead of Providence, 31-30, for the top spot in the division. Hershey (11-6-1-0) jumps Charlotte into the fourth spot with the win.
While the Pens held a 37-24 edge in shots, Hershey managed to have six find the back of the net.
Jack St. Ivany’s first goal of the season cut the Bears’ lead to 2-1 after the first period. Gabe Klassen accounted for the other Penguins goal, scoring late in the second period.
David Gucciardi had a goal and two assists for Hershey, and Ilya Protas added two goals and an assist.
The Penguins have two games next week, hosting Lehigh Valley on Friday at 7:05 p.m., then heading to Hershey for another Saturday matchup at 7 p.m.
