Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins News Release


Penguins (9-3-1-0) wake up bright and early Wednesday, host division foes Friday and Saturday

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.

Friday, Nov. 14 - PENGUINS vs. Bridgeport

Saturday, Nov. 15 - PENGUINS vs. Springfield

The Penguins take on the Thunderbirds for their first of four clashes. Springfield has only one win on the year thus far, but recently added long-time NHL veteran Milan Lucic on a PTO.
