NORFOLK, Va. – Braden Holtby made 44 saves but couldn't stop Pierre-Cedric Labrie's eventual game-winner in the Norfolk Admirals' 2-1 victory over Hershey on Friday night at Norfolk Scope. It was the Bears' fourth consecutive loss in regulation.
With the game tied at one in the third, the Admirals created a three-on-one rush into the Bears’ zone. Trevor Smith fed Cory Conacher with a pass across the crease, and Holtby did a split to make the save; however the rebound eluded him and Labrie chipped in the game-winning goal at 10:04.
The Bears (24-12-4-3) and Admirals (26-15-1-2) are now tied for second place in the East Division, each with 55 points.
