The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins had their hands full on Wednesday night, as the Atlantic Division-leading Hershey Bears were in town. Naturally, the game went to a five-round shootout, and the Penguins emerged with a 5-4 victory.
The Pittsburgh Penguins may find themselves in the bottom fifth of the NHL standings, but the opposite is happening in the AHL, where the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins are one of the league's top teams.
A week ago, the Pittsburgh Penguins went through the NHL Trade Deadline, shuffling the deck with several roster adjustments. Hours later, they got shut out by the Vegas Golden Knights 4-0, despite a solid effort.
If one thing has been consistent in these past three seasons, it's that the Pittsburgh Penguins never go down without a fight at the end of the season.
After losing 4-0 to the Vegas Golden Knights on Friday, the Pittsburgh Penguins will have the chance to redeem themselves Tuesday night at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh.
