Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins News Release


Weekly Rewind

Wednesday, Feb. 26 - PENGUINS 2 vs. Providence 6

Riley Barber scored his first goal with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in the second period, but Providence's offense proved to be too much, scoring three times in the middle frame and twice in the third.

Friday, Feb. 28 - PENGUINS 3 at Syracuse 4

Phil Varone notched two assists in his Penguins debut while Barber and Cole Cassels both posted a goal and an assist. However, a hat trick by Syracuse's Alex-Barré-Boulet catapulted the Crunch to victory.

Saturday, Feb. 29 - PENGUINS 1 at Hershey 5

Despite receiving nine power plays over the course of the game, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton never got the upper-hand on a reinforced Hershey side. David Warsofsky scored the Penguins' lone goal, his seventh power-play goal of the year.

The Week Ahead

Wilkes-Barre/Scranton returns to Floyd L. Maines Veterans Memorial Arena for the first time since Oct. 23, but a lot has changed for Binghamton since then. The Devils are 23-9-0-0 since Dec. 14.

The Penguins dance with the Devils for the second time in the same weekend, but this time, they get to do it on their home ice. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton has never lost to the Binghamton Devils at home in franchise history (7-0-0-0).
