Garrett Roe (St. Cloud State) whipped home a rebound less than eight minutes into overtime Wednesday night to lift the Hershey Bears to a 3-2 victory over the visiting Cleveland Monsters in Game 7 of the 2024 AHL Eastern Conference final. Hershey wins the best-of-seven series, four games to three, with three of those victories coming in OT. Cleveland forced a deciding contest by winning the previous three games of the series, after originally falling behind three games to none.
Hunter Shepard (Minnesota-Duluth) stopped 42 of 44 shots before 10,520 on-lookers last night for the Bears, who also got two points from Logan Day (Endicott), including the primary assist on Roe's game-winner. The Bears are looking to repeat as Calder Cup champions, and will face the Western Conference champion Coachella Valley Firebirds, whom they topped in seven games in last year's AHL final. Game One is slated for Friday night at Hershey's Giant Center.
