LAST TIME – The Phantoms kept coming and coming but NHL goaltender Tristan Jarry had the answer almost every time as the veteran netminder put on a clinic in a 2-1 overtime win for the Penguins on Wednesday night in Wilkes-Barre. Hunter McDonald’s first official pro goal (in regular season) finally broke through for the Phantoms after almost 48 minutes to even the score at 1-1 but Tristan Broz roofed an overtime winner from the right circle to earn the bonus point for the Baby Pens. Adam Ginning and Louie Belpedio blasted shots off the post in the second period and Jarry showcased his skills against repeated Phantoms challengers. Meanwhile, Cal Petersen was tested in net and was very strong in a 25-save performance.
