"The playoffs are always a different animal, right? Guys step up, and they really have all year, right? But it's more emphasized at these moments and in those situations, when it's a one-goal game, right? Having everyone help out and being in good spots on the ice, like they played exceptionally all around, helped me out a ton, allowed me to play the best version of my game."
"The positional game is so key. So many elite goaltenders in this league are so good positionally. It sets you up to make the right save selection. It calms your mind down. The less you're moving, the less you're thinking, the more you're just finding your sight line, sticking with it."
The Hershey Bears defeated the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins to avoid a 2-0 series deficit. Goaltender Clay Stevenson made 36 saves, including 21 in the third period. He improved his postseason record to 3-1 with a 1.51 goals-against average and a .945 save percentage. Stevenson emphasized the importance of teamwork and positional play in achieving success. His standout moment included a critical left pad save during a breakaway. The Bears' overall performance was highlighted by their ability to support each other on the ice.
