Game 4, with Coachella Valley leading the series 2-1, will start at 7 p.m. EDT Thursday from Giant Center. Fox 43 will carry the game, which also be picked up by NHL Network and live-streamed on fubo TV (first-month discount), Sling TV (first-month discount) and DirecTV Stream.
Bears play-by-play broadcaster Zack Fisch will have the call, joined by Todd Sadowski and Andrew Kalista of Fox 43 WPMT-TV. The games also will air on NBC Sports Washington, and will stream on AHLTV. In addition, the games will be heard on NHL Network Radio (SiriusXM 91).
Hershey needs a win tonight after losing Games 1 and 2 out in California by a combined score of 9-0 and needing an overtime goal to win 5-4 at home on Tuesday night.
Five different Bears scored in Tuesday’s game – forwards Riley Sutter, Sam Anas, Garrett Pilon, Ethen Frank and Joe Snively. They took a 3-1 lead in second-period goals by Snively and Anas and then led 4-2 late in regulation before Coachella Valley scored twice to send the game into overtime.
The Firebirds controlled play during the first 10 minutes of overtime, but Sutter backhanded a shot past Firebirds goalie Joey Daccord from just outside the crease at the 13:34 mark to give Hershey the win.

Coachella Valley outshot Hershey 37-30 for the game and 6-4 in the overtime.
That sets up an important Game 4, with the Bears probably needing to sweep these next two games at home before heading back to the West Coast for a potential Game 6 and Game 7.
