Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins
Bears and Wranglers Top AHL with 11 Wins, Adam Gaudette Cracks 13 Goals, Alex Nedeljkovic Nets Record-Setting Goalie Goal
It was a wild night of action across the AHL on Friday.
The Calgary Wranglers (moving to a league-best 11-1-1) and Hershey Bears (11-4) continued their dominance of their respective conferences, each tied with the lead league with 11 wins on the season following successful outings last night.
Veteran Adam Gaudette continued to prove he has the hottest stick in the AHL, netting his 12th and 13th goal in a 2-1 win for the Thunderbirds over the Comets.
And finally, an elusive and record-setting goalie goal from NHL vet Alex Nedeljkovic sealed the win for the WBS Penguins over the Providence Bruins.
Ned's empty netter, which propelled the Pens to a 4-2 win over the Bruins, was his second career goal in the AHL, making him the first and only goalie in the league to score two career goals.
