Weekly Rewind

Wednesday, Oct. 30 - PENGUINS 4 at Bridgeport 3 (SO)

Wilkes-Barre/Scranton went to overtime for the first time this season, but emerged victorious thanks to Emil Bemström and Ville Koivunen's pretty shootout goals. The Penguins raced out to a 2-0 lead in under three minutes of game time, but a three-goal second-period by the Isles put them ahead. Jonathan Gruden forced OT with his second goal of the night.

Saturday, Nov. 2 - PENGUINS 2 vs. Hartford 1

The Penguins and Wolf Pack entered Saturday tied in the Atlantic standings, but now the Black & Gold own a two-point edge over Hartford. Isaac Belliveau's first AHL goal opened the scoring 33 seconds into the second period, followed by a delayed penalty, extra attacker tally by Koivunen. Jarry and the Penguins clamped down hard in the third to secure victory.
