Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins News Release


Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (8-2-0-0) remains East's top defense through 10 games

Weekly Rewind

Wednesday, Oct. 29 - PENGUINS 1 vs. Providence 3

A three-goal second period from the Bruins was enough to end Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's season-opening, seven-game win streak. Valtteri Puustinen recorded the lone goal for the Penguins on a shrewd feed from rookie defenseman Chase Pietila.

Friday, Oct. 31 - PENGUINS 3 vs. Bridgeport 2

The Penguins bounced back to spook the Islanders with an exciting win on Halloween. Sam Poulin scored two goals, while Danton Heinen added an insurance marker to send the Isles packing. Filip Larsson made 22 saves, improving to 3-0-0-0.

Saturday, Nov. 1 - PENGUINS 1 at Utica 3

The Penguins were defeated in a hard-fought matchup, their first of four clashes against the Comets. Utica tallied once in all three periods, ending with former Penguin Jonathan Gruden's empty netter. Aidan McDonough almost sparked a rally, finding twine late in the scored period for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

The Week Ahead

Wednesday, Nov. 5 - PENGUINS vs. Toronto

The Penguins open a week of interdivisional foes with a visit from the Marlies. Last season, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton split its two-game series against Toronto, taking a shutout loss at home and earning a high-scoring win up North.

Friday, Nov. 7 - PENGUINS at Rochester

The Penguins head to the Flower City for the first and only time in the 2025-26 season. The Amerks hold second place in the North, but just had a five-game win streak snapped on Saturday.

Saturday, Nov. 8 - PENGUINS vs. Utica

The Penguins look to avenge their loss from last Saturday now that the Comets come to Northeast Pennsylvania. Utica ended a seven-game losing streak with that win, but still sits last in the league with 1.63 goals for per game.
