The win moved the Penguins four points up on the Bears atop the East Division. The teams meet again on Sunday evening in Hershey.

Petr Taticek got Wilkes-Barre on the board first 5:22 into the game before the Penguins erupted for five goals on 11 shots in the second period.

Kolanos and Lefebvre scored 51 seconds apart to make it 3-0, then after Mike Green and Tomas Fleischmann pulled the Bears back to within a goal, they struck again 3:06 apart to restore the three-goal lead.

Dany Sabourin turned aside 33 shots for the Penguins. Kolanos, acquired by Pittsburgh prior to the Mar. 9 trade deadline, has four goals and three assists in seven games for Wilkes-Barre, which is 4-0-1-2 in that span.

The big period was nothing new for the Pens, who scored seven times in the first 20 minutes of an 8-1 win over the Bears on Dec. 26.

Sunday's game can be heard on 100.1 FM WQIC, Pennlive.com and B2 networks. The M&C Foreign Car Parts pre-game show will begin at 4:40 p.m., game time is set for 5:00. Good tickets for Sunday's game are available at the GIANT Center box office or by calling (717) 508-BEAR.
