Weekly Rewind
Friday, Nov. 2 - PENGUINS 5 vs. Hartford 3
The power play dictated the offense in the Penguins' and Wolf Pack's first matchup of the season. Five of the eight goals scored came on the man advantage, but the Penguins came out on top thanks to an edge at even strength. Ethan Prow recorded the first three-point game (1G-2A) of his career.
Saturday, Nov. 3 - PENGUINS 2 vs. Hartford 3
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton lost the second game of a back-to-back set with Hartford, 3-2, on Saturday night. The Penguins' comeback bid was thwarted by a 35-save showing by Wolf Pack goalie Marek Mazanec.
Sunday, Nov. 4 - PENGUINS 5 at Bridgeport 8
The Penguins fell to the Sound Tigers, 8-5, despite a furious recovery attempt in the final frame. The Pens scored a season-high four goals in the third period, and Zach Aston-Reese had the first hat trick of his career. Prow notched another three-point game (3A).
