Wilkes-Barre/Scranton was shut out by Charlotte, 4-0, tonight at Mohegan Sun Arena.
As if to pay homage to the parent club, Wilkes-Barre trailed 1-0 just 15 seconds in after allowing a goal on the first shot of the game. The Checkers made it 2-0 later in the first, then added another goal in the second and a power-play goal in the third to make it 4-0. Joel Blomqvist took the loss with 27 saves on 31 shots.
The Penguins had a rare bad night on the power play, going 0 for 5. But even after this, the power play is operating at 21.3%, tied for the sixth-best in the AHL.
Emil Bemstrom returned from injury and led the team with seven shots on goal, improving his average to 3.7 per game. Dan Renouf fought Patrick Giles in the first period, and Jonathan Gruden fought Oliver Okuliar in the second.
