Saturday, November 5: Hershey 2 @ WBS 1
The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins stormed into the month of November with the American Hockey League’s best record by points percentage, no regulation losses, and October’s Goaltender of the Month in Dustin Tokarski. Leave it to the Penguins’ longest-serving and fiercest rival, the Hershey Bears, to bring WBS back to earth.
The first period of Saturday night’s contest at Mohegan Arena at Casey Plaza went scoreless, with Hershey’s Zach Fucale fending off 13 WBS shots against Tokarski’s six saves. The breakthrough goal came at 13:23 of the second period, as Mike Sgarbossa, in his fifth game of season for the Bears, scored his third goal.
