Penguins defeat Norfolk
November 18, 2005 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Norfolk Admirals News Release
Both teams fired 11 pucks on net in the first, but the Penguins were the only team to dent the twine. With Wilkes-Barre on the power play, Matt Hussey took a Chris Kelleher pass at the point and skated to the faceoff dot to left of Admirals netminder Adam Munro. Hussey fired a quick wrist shot that eluded Munro glove side high at 15:08 of the first. The Baby Pens took a 1-0 lead to the first intermission.
The second stanza saw two more Penguins goals as Guillaume Lefebvre (even strength) and Michel Ouellet (5-on-3 power play) found the back of the net. The Admirals launched 12 more shots on Fleury, but the Wilkes-Barre goalie continued to stymie the home squad. With 40 minutes gone, the Pens held a 3-0 advantage.
In the final frame, Brian Lee finally got the Admirals on the board with his first of the year at the 2:41 mark. But Fleury and Penguins would not allow another puck in their net, and held on for the 3-1 win.
Adam Munro made 32 stops in net for Norfolk while Fleury finished with 34 saves to earn the win.
Norfolk was 0-7 on the power play while Wilkes-Barre/Scranton was 2-8.
