Penguins Weekly Rewind

Tuesday, Feb. 22 - PENGUINS 3 at Hershey 1

Wilkes-Barre/Scranton grinded out a gutsy win at Giant Center with the Pens' fourth line carrying the offense. Kyle Olson scored twice and Jonathan Gruden recorded three points (1G-2A).

Wednesday, Feb. 23 - PENGUINS 2 vs. Lehigh Valley 3 (SO)

Gruden and Filip Hållander gave the Penguins a 2-0 lead in the first period, but the Phantoms slowly clawed back into the contest. Alex D'Orio stood tall in the face of a seven-shot barrage in OT, but Lehigh Valley squeaked away with the shootout win.

Saturday, Feb. 26 - PENGUINS 5 at Bridgeport 3

Hållander scored the first hat trick of his career, leading the Penguins to a crucial win in their first visit to Bridgeport. Tommy Nappier made 28 saves to win his third game in a row.

Sunday, Feb. 27 - PENGUINS 4 vs. Syracuse 3 (OT)

Skating in his 400th AHL game, captain Taylor Fedun delivered the overtime-winner for the Penguins. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's offense was also buoyed by multi-point performances by Valtteri Puustinen (1G-1A), Radim Zohorna (1G-1A) and Drew O'Connor (1G-2A).
