Weekly Rewind
Wednesday, Nov. 5 - PENGUINS 3 vs. Toronto 4 (OT)
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton put on a clinic in the first 40 minutes of regulation, dominating possession and racking up three-straight goals. Tristan Broz scored 16 seconds in, the third-fastest goal in team history. However, the Marlies rallied in the third period and stole the win late in overtime.
Friday, Nov. 7 - PENGUINS 4 at Rochester 6
This time, it was the Penguins' turn to rally, but their thrilling comeback fell short in the end. The Americans snatched a 4-1 lead going into the first intermission, only for Alex Alexeyev, Broz and Sam Poulin to bring the Pens level at 4-4. Third-period power-play and empty-net goals led Rochester to victory.
Saturday, Nov. 8 - PENGUINS 4 vs. Utica 0
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton put forth a top-to-bottom solid outing in front of a 20-save shutout by rookie Maxim Pavlenko. Matty De St. Phalle and Poulin scored for the second-straight game, while Broz logged his team-leading seventh tally of the year.
