The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins wrapped up their preseason with a 3-1 win against the Adirondack Phantoms on Sunday at the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza. The Penguins were able to use a pair of 5-on-3 power play goals and an 18-save effort from goalie Brad Thiessen to skate away with the victory. Working on the two-man advantage midway through the second, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton built a 2-0 lead when Geoff Walker came out of the corner and found Paul Thompson alone on the back post for the easy tap-in. At the halfway point of the third period, the Penguins were able to play another 5-on-3 advantage to perfection to put themselves up by three. After a scramble in front of the Phantoms’ net, Ryan Craig fed a pass across the crease that Eric Tangradi knocked over a sprawled Jason Bacashihua. For the first time this preseason, it was Wilkes-Barre/Scranton breaking the scoreless tie. Cody Chupp made it 1-0 in favor of the Penguins at 5:36 of the second with a backhand attempt that trickled under the glove of Bacashihua and across the goal line. Olivier Lauridsen would foil Thiessen’s bid for a shutout with a power play tally that came with 1:11 left in regulation. The win allowed the Penguins to go perfect over their three-game, three-day weekend and finish the exhibition schedule with a 3-1-0-0 record. The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins’ 20011-12 season opener is Saturday, October 8 at 7:05 PM versus the Hershey Bears.
