HERSHEY, Pa. -- Goals by Andrew Joudrey and Alexandre Giroux two and half minutes apart early in the third period lifted the Hershey Bears to a 2-1 win over the Providence Bruins before 7,460 fans at the Giant Center.

Hershey's win evened the Eastern Conference finals at one. Games Three, Four and Five will be Friday, Sunday and next Monday at the Dunkin Donuts Center.

Hershey outshot Providence, 39-26, and controlled play for long stretches in the Providence end of the ice. The Bears had a 7-2 advantage in power plays.

Brad Marchand scored Providence's only goal with 36 seconds left in the game, and goalie Tuukka Rask on the bench. Marchand had a chance to tie it with seconds left but shot the puck over the net.
