It was a week of thrilling finishes for the Wilkes-Barre Penguins in the AHL. They went 1-1-1 this week to remain right in the thick of their Atlantic Division through 10 of the 72-game AHL schedule.
Wilkes’ win this week was a tremendous one — and gave them the edge in the mini-series that saw them play the rival Hershey Bears three times over a 10-day stretch lately. The teams split the first two games, and with less than one second left in the rubber match on Friday night, Marc Johnstone’s long shot somehow snuck over the shoulder of the Hershey goalie to give the Pens a dramatic win.
