Penguins Weekly Rewind

Wednesday, Feb. 2 - PENGUINS 4 vs. Springfield 3 (OT)

Jordy Bellerive delivered the OT-winner for the Penguins after the team rallied from a 2-0 deficit. Pierre-Olivier Joseph opened the scoring with a coast-to-coast beauty in the first, followed by third-period goals from Michael Chaput and Jan Drozg.

Friday, Feb. 4 - PENGUINS 4 vs. Bridgeport 3

Wilkes-Barre/Scranton raced out to an early lead, but Bridgeport provided a response at every turn. Eventually, tied 3-3 in the third period, Joseph stepped up to score the game-winner with 11:41 left in regulation.

Saturday, Feb. 5 - PENGUINS 1 vs. Providence 2 (OT)

The Penguins and B-Bruins were neck-and-neck for most of a teeter-totter contest. The two rivals played at a tie score for 57:25 of game time, but Providence squeaked out the OT win.

The Week Ahead

Wednesday, Feb. 9 - PENGUINS at Rochester

Making up a postponed game from Dec. 22, the Penguins will visit Rochester for the second and final tilt of the season. Last time out, Amerks goalie Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen stymied the Penguins offense with 41 saves.

Friday, Feb. 11 - PENGUINS vs. Belleville

Wilkes-Barre/Scranton hosts the Belleville Senators for their only visit of the season. Since Thanksgiving, the Sens have played even, .500 hockey, going 10-10-0-0. Two of Belleville's top three goal-scorers are former Penguins, Jake Lucchini (11) and Andrew Agozzino (10).

Saturday, Feb. 12 - PENGUINS at Lehigh Valley

The Turnpike Rivalry rears its head with the Penguins one spot ahead of the Phantoms in the Atlantic Division standings. Hayden Hodgson has suddenly caught fire, scoring six times in his last seven games for a team-leading 12 tallies on the season.
