Andrew Cristall extends point streak to nine games after scoring goals in both of Hershey's weekend games

"Cristall's tally against the Islanders came after a hardworking play by Ilya Protas along the end boards. Little Pro won a puck battle and sent a pass to Cristall, who was streaking toward the net. The winger then buried a shot past goaltender Henrik Tikkanen to give Hershey a 3-0 lead with 1:38 remaining in the second period. After the victory, goaltender Mitch Gibson rewarded Cristall with the team's player of the game award, a firefighter uniform."

"Cristall's goal against the Penguins came off a lucky bounce. As the rookie winger sent a centering pass down low, the puck ricocheted off Penguins defenseman Scooter Brickey and in past goaltender Sergei Murashov. The tally came with 6:09 remaining in the third period, narrowing the Penguins lead to 2-1. The Bears, however, could not complete the comeback though as Owen Pickering scored an empty-netter with 1:32 remaining."

"Cristall now has 11 points (2g, 9a) during the nine-game point streak, which first began on November 29 against Wilkes Barre/Scranton. On the season, he has 22 points (5g, 17a) in 26 games, which ranks second overall on the Bears. Cristall sits tied for sixth overall in AHL rookie scoring. Cristall is also tied with Coachella Valley's Tyson Jugnauth for the most assists (17) among AHL rookies."
