Media Kit

Last Game: Last night, Cal O’Reilly opened the scoring on a first period power play but that would be all the offense the Penguins would muster. Brock Trotter would score two goals and be named first star of the game as the IceCaps won 3-1.

What to Watch For: If the Penguins want to win this series, they are going to have to win on the road. They are 0-3 this postseason which is in stark contrast to their second best overall regular season road winning record. Now that the teams have a game under their belt, expect a much better Penguins effort this evening.
