The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins power-play unit produced a season-high three goals on the man advantage Saturday afternoon in a 6-2 win over the St. John&#8217;s IceCaps at Mile One Centre.The win raised the Pens&#8217; record to 14-4-2-0 (30 points) on the season and kept the club in first place in the Atlantic Division, while the IceCaps saw their record even out at 11-11-1-0 (23 points).After failing to score on their first man advantage, the Penguins rattled off power-play goals on their next three chances, and ended up scoring on half of their opportunities on the afternoon.Danny Kristo opened the scoring at 18:08 of the first period with a point blast that beat Charlie Lindgren, giving Kristo his first goal in a Wilkes-Barre/Scranton uniform.Penalties on Mark MacMillan (tripping) and Jacob de la Rose (goaltender interference) came just 34 seconds apart, giving the Penguins an extended two-man advantage early in the second period. The Pens took advantage of both chances, as Kevin Porter scored with 18 seconds left in the five-on-three, and Dominik Simon tallied 19 seconds later to make it a 3-0 game 6:07 into the middle period.Chris Terry beat Tristan Jarry at 14:33 of the second period, ending the Pens&#8217; goalie&#8217;s shutout streak at 95:28 dating back to November 23.Jean-S&#233;bastien Dea redirected a Simon shot past Lindgren with 42 seconds remaining in the second period to reestablish the three-goal lead for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.Tim Erixon and Josh Archibald sandwiched third period goals around Daniel Audette&#8217;s second of the season to complete the day&#8217;s scoring.Jarry made 31 saves on the afternoon to raise his personal record to 9-4-1, while Lindgren stopped 21 of 27 attempts and fell to 9-6-0.The two teams will square off again Sunday afternoon at Mile One Centre at 2:30 p.m.Penguins 6, St. John&#8217;s 2Penguins`1`3`2`&#8212;`6St. John&#8217;s`0`1`1`&#8212;`1First PeriodScoring &#8212; 1.
