Now that I’m sufficiently thawed out from my weekend...
FEBRUARY 24: WBS 1 @ Utica 2
On the heels of a three-game weekend that ended up with three losses and zero points, WBS headed up to the legendary Utica Memorial Auditorium on Friday night for a contest against the fifth place team in the North Division, the .500 Utica Comets. Unfortunately, the Penguins would see their losing streak extended to four, as Jordan Subban and Darren Archibald paced the Comets to a 2-1 victory. Tom Kostopoulos scored his 19th goal of the season on a power play at 8:50 of the third to break Thatcher Demko’s shutout bid, but the Canucks prospect stopped the remaining 27 shots he faced for his 10th win of the season.
