The Ice Cats kept the Bears off the scoreboard until midway through the third period while they themselves put two more shots between the Bears' pipes. Worcester's Jason Zent scored his fifth goal of the season 18:18 into the second period with help from Konstantin Shafranov and Bob Lachance. The Cats' third goal was a power play shot off the stick of Gary Leeman just 1:04 into the third period. The Bears didn't manage to score until 9:37 of the third with a power play goal from Christian Matte. Hershey then brought the game to within one with another power play goal from Mike McHugh three minutes later. Worcester sealed the victory with 48 seconds left in the game when Terry Virtue made an open net goal, his first of the season. Worcester goaltender Travis Scott, who is fifth in the league, made some spectacular saves in the course of the game stopping 30 of 32 shots, half of which came in the third period. Hershey goaltender Jean-Francois Labbe, who is sixth in the league, managed to stop only 21 of 25 shots.
