ChatGPT prediction for Hershey Bears vs W-B/Scranton Penguins, 27 November 2025.
Hershey’s profile is built on stingy structure and hot goaltending: just nine goals allowed across a six-game run (1.49 GAA) and a 10-4-1-0 start. At GIANT Center, this matchup tilts further their way—Todd Nelson’s Bears are 10-3-2-0 at home vs W-B/Scranton and 17-8-3-0 overall in the series.
The Penguins bring real firepower, regularly clearing 3.5 goals and striking early, but their special-teams leaks are a poor fit against a Bears power play that’s been humming (36.4% on the road), with rookie Ilya Protas scoring in four straight.
With market pricing Hershey at 2.50 versus WBS at 2.30 and the Draw at 4.00, the value sits on the home side. Hershey’s defensive ceiling and H2H edge make the Bears the sharper $1 play.

Gemini prediction for Hershey Bears vs W-B/Scranton Penguins, 27 November 2025.
This AHL showdown presents a classic clash of styles between the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins' high-flying offense and the Hershey Bears' suffocating defense. The Penguins have been a scoring machine, netting over 3.5 goals in their last 12 games. Their ability to start fast will put immediate pressure on the home side.
However, the Bears are arguably the hottest team in the league, riding a six-game road winning streak where their goaltenders posted a remarkable 1.49 goals-against average. They are defensively sound and disciplined. Rookie Ilya Protas has also provided a significant offensive spark, scoring in four straight contests.
The deciding factor could be the venue. Under coach Todd Nelson, the Bears have dominated the Penguins at GIANT Center with a 10-3-2-0 record. Combined with their current form and a power play that clicks at an elite rate, Hershey's defensive structure should be enough to neutralize the Penguins' attack. At underdog odds of 2.50, the home team offers exceptional value.

Claude prediction for Hershey Bears vs W-B/Scranton Penguins, 27 November 2025.
The Hershey Bears enter this matchup with tremendous momentum, riding the AHL's longest active road winning streak at six games while allowing just 1.49 goals per game during that stretch. Their defensive discipline and elite goaltending create a stark contrast to W-B/Scranton's offensive firepower, which has produced over 3.5 goals in 100% of their last 12 games.
However, this presents a classic unstoppable force versus immovable object scenario. The Penguins' relentless scoring attack, particularly their ability to find the net early and often, will severely test Hershey's road-tested defensive structure.
The Bears hold a commanding 10-3-2-0 home record against the Penguins under Todd Nelson, but the 2.50 odds on Hershey seem generous given their current form. W-B/Scranton's 2.30 price reflects their offensive capabilities, but their defensive vulnerabilities against Hershey's 36.4% road power play could prove costly in a tight contest.

Grok prediction for Hershey Bears vs W-B/Scranton Penguins, 27 November 2025.
The Hershey Bears are entering this AHL showdown on fire, boasting a six-game road winning streak where they've allowed just nine goals total, thanks to their stellar goaltending duo with a 1.49 GAA. Now back at GIANT Center, where they've dominated the W-B/Scranton Penguins with a 10-3-2-0 record under coach Todd Nelson, the Bears look poised to extend their success.
While the Penguins bring serious offensive heat, scoring over 3.5 goals in all of their last 12 games and lighting up the first period consistently, Hershey's elite defense—tops in the league—should neutralize that firepower. Add in young gun Ilya Protas on a four-game scoring tear with seven points in his last four, and the Bears' top-ranked Eastern Conference power play at 36.4% on the road, and this matchup tilts heavily in their favor.
Betting on the Bears at 2.50 offers solid value, especially given their 17-8-3-0 overall edge in the series. Don't sleep on Hershey turning the Penguins' attack into a defensive masterclass for a home victory.

Qwen prediction for Hershey Bears vs W-B/Scranton Penguins, 27 November 2025.
This matchup between the Hershey Bears and W-B/Scranton Penguins features a tantalizing clash of styles, with Hershey’s stingy defense meeting Wilkes-Barre/Scranton’s explosive offense. The Bears have been in exceptional form, particularly on the road, where they’ve won six straight games while allowing just 1.49 goals per game. Their goaltending has been lights-out, and rookie Ilya Protas adds an offensive spark with seven points in his last four games. On the flip side, the Penguins’ offense is firing on all cylinders, scoring over 3.5 goals in every one of their last 12 games and exceeding 4.5 goals in more than half of those contests.
Historically, the Bears have dominated this rivalry under coach Todd Nelson, boasting a 10-3-2-0 home record against the Penguins. However, oddsmakers are giving both teams near-equal chances here, with Hershey at 2.50 and the Penguins at 2.30. This slight edge reflects the Penguins’ offensive firepower but undervalues Hershey’s defensive resilience and recent dominance. A draw, listed at 4.00, feels unlikely given how both teams push for results rather than conservative play."Hershey’s ability to neutralize high-scoring teams will be tested, but their elite penalty kill and strong power play (36.4% on the road) could exploit Wilkes-Barre/Scranton’s special teams vulnerabilities. Given the odds and team dynamics, backing the Bears offers solid value despite their opponents’ offensive prowess.
