Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins News Release


Weekly Rewind

Friday, Nov. 18 - PENGUINS 4 vs. Hershey 0

Wilkes-Barre/Scranton got back in the win column by shutting out their bitter rival. The Penguins received goals from four different players, and Dustin Tokarski held down the fort for his 28th career shutout.

Saturday, Nov. 19 - PENGUINS 2 at Bridgeport 4

In their first matchup of the season, the Penguins lost a close one to the Islanders after a pair of power-play goals kept Bridgeport in the game. Ty Smith and Sam Poulin lit the lamp for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, but an early, third-period strike and an empty netter provided separation for Bridgeport.

Monday, Nov. 21 - PENGUINS 4 at Charlotte 5 (SO)

The Penguins and Checkers' high-scoring special teams display ended with Charlotte winning a four-round shootout. Filip Hållander and Drew O'Connor notched man-advantage markers for the Penguins, while Jonathan Gruden tallied the team's first shorthanded goal. Tokarski posted a season-high 36 saves.
