PITTSTON, Pa. - Two early goals by New Jersey and a 38-save shutout performance by Jac Berry paced the Titans to a 4-0 victory over the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Knights.
Joe Schuler would break the scoreless tie at the 5:45 mark of the opening frame when he fired a puck past the outstretched glove of Andrey Svistunov. For Schuler, the goal was his third of the season.
Later on the man advantage, New Jersey scored again to increase the lead to 2-0. The goal came from Keegan Miller who was all alone against Svistunov.
Andrew Durham and Raymond Brice helped on Miller's seventh of the season.
Both teams exchanged chances in the middle frame including power play opportunities but neither could find the back of the cage.
