Ally Rome, Katie Kravitsky lead Dallas’ charge to second straight WVC track and field title

<p>WILKES-BARRE TWP. &#8212; Kael Mouillierat thought he may have gotten a bit carried away with his goal celebration on Monday night.</p><p>But considering the goal came in overtime to win Game 4 of the Atlantic Division Finals and even up the series against the Hershey Bears, 2-2, Mouillierat was the only one who got a little excited when it was all over.</p><p>After battling to a 1-1 stalemate after three periods, the Penguins went on the power play early in the overtime and scored with two seconds left on the man advantage to beat the Bears 2-1.</p><p>Goaltender Tristan Jarry, who was making his first postseason start, stopped 22 of 23 shots. The series now shifts back to Hershey for Game 5 on Wednesday.</p><p>&#8220;It was a huge game. We either go down 3-1 or tie it up,&#8221; Mouillierat said. &#8220;We&#8217;re excited right now. We&#8217;ll enjoy it for an hour or two tonight and get refocused on Game 5.&#8221;</p><p>After a strong first period, the Penguins gained the lead early in the second during their second power play of the night. Will O&#8217;Neill rushed the puck along the boards and passed into the low slot to Tom Kostopoulos, who redirected the puck past Justin Peters for a 1-0 lead.</p><p>After that, it was all penalties for the Penguins and power play time for Hershey. The Penguins were whistled for three straight minors, which included 1:19 of 5-on-3 time for the Bears. Hershey couldn&#8217;t connect with the two-man advantage, but they scored on the remainder of the power play when Jarry stopped two shots before a rebound bounced out to Carter Camper at the corner.</p><p>Camper&#8217;s goal evened things up at 1-1. The Penguins were outshot 12-8 in the period.</p><p>Head coach Clark Donatelli felt the penalties sidetracked the momentum the Penguins had generated earlier, but he didn&#8217;t take issue with the calls.</p><p>&#8220;We can&#8217;t be taking offensive zone penalties, sticking penalties, tripping. Those are lazy penalties,&#8221; Donatelli said. &#8220;They were calling it tight and those were penalties.&#8221;</p><p>The Penguins came close to regaining the lead in the third period when Dustin Jeffrey ripped a shot and Daniel Sprong went for the rebound, but the puck was smothered by Zach Sill, who was called for interference.</p><p>By the end of the period, the Penguins had thrown everything they had at the Bears, outshooting them 14-2 but they couldn&#8217;t get anything past Peters, forcing the game to overtime.</p><p>But the Penguins had the momentum in the favor once again and their familiarity with playoff overtime, they won three against Providence in the first round, was an advantage.</p><p>&#8220;We&#8217;re a confident group going into overtime after the Providence series,&#8221; Mouillierat said. &#8220;We&#8217;re not nervous. We play to win the game and we got the job done.&#8221;</p><p>It began when Hershey defensmean Madison Bowey held Jake Guenztel 33 seconds into the overtime period. Donatelli called timeout to talk things over with his players, and with two seconds left on the power play, Mouillierat pounced on a rebound resulting from a Tom Sestito shot and put the puck home.</p><p>Donatelli said his team did a better job of getting pucks in deep, Jarry presented a new look in net and the power play stepped up with two goals on six chances.</p><p>&#8220;We needed that,&#8221; Donatelli said. &#8220;Special teams are going to dictate things going forward. This was a huge win and now the series is a best-of-three.&#8221;</p><p>NOTES</p><p>- During warmups Sestito took exception to Hershey&#8217;s Liam O&#8217;Brien crossing the red line and gave him a whack as players jawed at center ice. &#8220;There&#8217;s a lot of emotion in these games,&#8221; Mouillierat said. &#8220;It was going on out there from not even the drop of the puck, in warmups. It was a battle out there.&#8221;</p><style>
