While things are not going the greatest at the NHL level for the Pittsburgh Penguins, there are some very real bright spots starting to emerge at the AHL level with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.
Specifically with the development of the two main prospects in the Jake Guentzel trade, Vasily Ponomarev and Ville Koivunen.
Both players recorded hat tricks on Wednesday night in a 9-0 win over Hershey, with Koivunen taking the extra step of scoring a fourth goal in the win.
