Penguins Weekly Rewind

Tuesday, Mar. 22 - PENGUINS 5 at Toronto 1

Wilkes-Barre/Scranton routed Toronto by rattling off five unanswered goals, including a four-goal outburst in the second period. Defensemen Will Reilly and P.O Joseph both notched two assists in the trip-opening victory.

Wednesday, Mar. 23 - PENGUINS 1 at Toronto 6

Toronto turned the tables in game two of the back-to-back set. The Marlies were spurred by a four-point game by forward Nick Robertson, who posted a goal and three assists.

Friday, Mar. 25 - PENGUINS 3 at Belleville 1

The Penguins pulled off a gritty, bounce-back win against the B-Sens thanks to their stalwart defense. Tied, 1-1, going into the third period, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton scored twice while limiting Belleville to just four shots on goal.

Saturday, Mar. 26 - PENGUINS 3 at Laval 5

Wilkes-Barre/Scranton rallied from a 3-1 deficit to even the scales in the third period, but the Rocket used a pair of late strikes to pull away. Native Québécois Michael Chaput and Sam Poulin scored the Penguins' first two goals.
