With the East Division magic number down to four heading into Friday night’s game against Binghamton, the Hershey Bears looked to wrap up the regular season with two big wins. They did just that, taking down Bingo 3-2 Friday night, and finishing the season with a win over Lehigh Valley for their 100th point on the year.
Both nights were filled with much action. Below the jump, check out photos of both games, which included a three assist night from Caps first round pick Jakub Vrana and Tomas Kundratek throwing an autographed stick 10 rows into the stands.
