Rookie Eric Fehr unloaded a blast 9:07 into overtime to give the Hershey Bears a dramatic 5-4 victory over the Portland Pirates in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Tuesday night at the Giant Center.

The Bears have captured the Richard F. Canning Trophy and are going to the Calder Cup Finals for the AHL-record 19th time in franchise history, where they will take on the Milwaukee Admirals. Game 1 is Friday night at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee.

Fehr’s second goal of the night was a drive from above the right-wing circle and gave the Bears their first and only lead of the night.

The contest marked the third time in the last seven years that the Eastern Conference Finals were extended to overtime of a Game 7, and was the 14th Game 7 in Calder Cup Playoff history to go into OT overall.
