The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins completed a stretch of three games in as many days over the weekend and the results were pretty decent. WBS went 2-1, dropping the first game to first-place Hershey but then coming back to pick up wins over Springfield and Bridgeport to salvage the weekend. Wilkes was beating Hershey 2-0 entering the third before giving up four straight goals to make for a regrettable finish.
Some good news was provided with Joel Blomqvist coming back from injury and playing well in Saturday’s 4-1 win over Springfield.
The team the Pens are chasing, the Charlotte Checkers, mustered a 1-1-0 weekend themselves.
