BOXSCORE WILKES-BARRE, Pa. – The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins were defeated, 6-3, by the Lehigh Valley Phantoms on Saturday at Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza in their second night of an offensively charged home and home series.

The 21-year-old forward struck again less than four minutes later...

The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins used a clutch goal from captain Garrett Wilson to catapult past the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, 5-4, at PPL Center.
