Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins News Release


Weekly Rewind

Wednesday, Oct. 23 - PENGUINS 1 at Binghamton 4

Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's all-time undefeated streak against the Binghamton Devils franchise was stemmed at 11 games after a quick start by Brett Seney propelled the Devils to victory. Seney scored twice in the first four minutes of the game, giving Binghamton the early edge. Andrew Agozzino gave the Pens life in the third, but the Devils came right back with two more strikes (including an empty netter) to get the win.

Friday, Oct. 25 - PENGUINS 3 vs. San Antonio 5

The Penguins had a hot start in front of their home crowd, starting with goals by Stefan Noesen and Joseph Cramarossa in the first period. However, San Antonio's power play rattled off three goals as the game wore on, helping the Rampage earn the win in the two clubs' first meeting since Feb. 6, 2009.

Saturday, Oct. 26 - PENGUINS 5 vs. San Antonio 4 (OT)

Cramarossa scored the overtime game-winner on his 27th birthday, granting the Penguins revenge on the Rampage in their rematch from the night before. Noesen potted two power-play goals for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in regulation, and Jordy Bellerive tallied his first AHL goal with a man-advantage marker, too.
