PennLive.com writer Dave Sottile is reporting that Bears forward Liam O’Brien will be out the next four to six weeks with an MCL injury. O’Brien, 21, has played in 12 games for Hershey this season, scoring one goal and one assist. This is the second big loss for Hershey in as many weeks as it was learned that Jakub Vrana would be missing 3-4 months after wrist surgery.
