Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins News Release


Weekly Rewind

Friday, Feb. 7 - PENGUINS 0 vs. Hershey 3

Wilkes-Barre/Scranton was shut-out on Friday night by the Hershey Bears. Despite a spirited five-on-three penalty kill early in the third period, the Penguins were unable to translate that success into offense. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton generated a total of 31 shots, all of which were stopped by Pheonix Copley.

Saturday, Feb. 8 - PENGUINS 3 vs. Lehigh Valley 5

After a rapid fire start that saw the two teams trade goals and a crowd-rallying fight by Jamie Devane in the first three minutes of regulation, the Phantoms pulled away with four-straight tallies. The Penguins made things interesting late with Myles Powell's first AHL goal and a tally by Jan Drozg, but Lehigh Valley had built enough cushion for the win.
