Ty Conklin made 28 saves and six different players scored goals as the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins posted a 6-0 win against the Worcester Sharks at home on Wednesday.

This was one of the strangest games in recent memory. Three different players scored their first goals as WBS Penguins.

No goals were scored in the first period, but D Deryk Engelland scored early on in the second period with a shot from the point that deflected off of a Worcester player.

Shortly after that, W Connor James put in his 4th of the year when he found a loose puck behind the net and wrapped it in.

D Alex Goligoski made an outstanding backhand pass to Kurtis McLean at the top of the crease. This gave McLean his third of the year, less than five minutes into the period.

McLean was with, of all people, D Alain Nasreddine on a 2-on-1 later in the period and Nasreddine deposited it into the net.

Tim Brent scored his first as a Penguin, after making a great stickhandling move and then burying a backhand shot top shelf.

Lannon finished off the scoring. He hadn’t scored since December of 2005. This was a shorthanded goal and the third of his career in the AHL.

To continue on with bizarre facts from the game, there was only one Penguin without a shot on goal. That player led the Penguins in goals last year, slumping RW Jonathan Filewich.
