First three-in-three of the season awaits Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
PENGUINS WEEKLY – Penguins (8-8-0-2) host their annual Teddy Bear Toss game at home on Saturday
Penguins Weekly Rewind
Tuesday, Nov. 23 – PENGUINS 3 at Charlotte 2 (OT)
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton erased a pair of one-goal deficits, giving way for Filip Hållander to notch the game-winner with 19.2 seconds left in overtime. Michael Chaput and Kyle Olson scored in the second and third periods, respectively.
Wednesday, Nov. 24 – PENGUINS 3 at Charlotte 4
This time, the Checkers survived the Penguins’ third-period rally and snuck away with the win. P.O Joseph tallied his first goal of the season, but it wasn’t enough to overcome an early third-period outburst by Charlotte.
Saturday, Nov. 27 – PENGUINS 1 vs. Providence 5
An otherwise close game got away from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in the final minutes of regulation. Penguins 6-foot-6 forward Radim Zohorna struck first, but a third-period hat trick by Zach Senyshyn put the Bruins over the top.
The Week Ahead
Friday, Dec. 3 – PENGUINS at Syracuse
The Penguins face-off against the Crunch for the first time this season. In 2020-21, J.D. Forrest earned his first win as head coach at Syracuse, but that was his team’s only victory in the six-game season series.
Saturday, Dec. 4 – PENGUINS vs. Charlotte
Going head-to-head for the sixth time, the Penguins host the Checkers for Teddy Bear Toss Night. At the Penguins’ first goal, fans will throw unwrapped, stuffed toys onto the ice to be donated to children in need this holiday season.
Sunday, Dec. 5 – PENGUINS at Hershey
Believe it or not, this will be the first time all season that the Penguins take on their I-81 Rival, the Hershey Bears. Starting on Sunday, six of their next nine games are against the Bears.
