\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ud83d\udcf8: Hershey Bears\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Alex Suzdalev won\u2019t be forgetting his Sunday night at Giant Center any time soon.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old winger scored his first career AHL goal for the Hershey Bears against the Rochester Americans in a 2-1 victory. The tally was not only Suzdalev\u2019s milestone first in the league, but also ended as the game-winning marker for the Bears.<\/p>\n

Suzdalev fired Hershey into a 2-1 lead with 13:03 remaining in the third period.<\/p>\n

Suzdalev picked up the puck after receiving an indirect pass off the boards from Ryan Chelsey that sprung him and Bogdan Trineyev on a 2-on-1 rush. The Russian-born, Swedish-raised winger looked shot the whole way and fired a wicked wrister past Americans goaltender Topias Leinonen.<\/p>\n

The goal is Suzdalev\u2019s third point of the season (1g, 2a) for the Bears in five games. He also played three AHL games last year but went without a point.<\/p>\n

Sam Bitten scored Hershey\u2019s first goal of the game, his second in as many games since joining the Bears earlier this week<\/a>. Clay Stevenson made 22 saves on 23 shots faced to improve to 3-3 in net this season.<\/p>\n

As part of Hometown Heroes night, the normally chocolate and white clad Bears donned red, white, and blue first-responder-themed jerseys.<\/p>\n

The Bears got the win after seeing their four-game winning streak ended by the Toronto Marlies on Friday. Hershey is now 6-4-1 on the season and sit fifth in the Atlantic Division with 13 standings points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\ud83d\udcf8: Hershey Bears Alex Suzdalev won\u2019t be forgetting his Sunday night at Giant Center any time soon.
