The Wilkes-Barre Penguins went 1-1-2 this week in four games coming against their biggest rivals. All were one goal games, and punctuated by some nastiness. Unfortunately, some of that worked against the AHL Pens, Vasily Ponomarev’s match penalty in the third period opened the door for the Hershey Bears to tie the game that they would eventually go onto win in overtime. Ponomarev would pick up a one-game suspension for his actions.
Vasily Ponomarev and Pierrick Dube engage in a scrum, and Ponomarev loses his cool after things appeared to be settled down.
