<p>WILKES-BARRE &#8212; Anthony Peters concluded the weekend as the hottest goaltender in the American Hockey League, yet his playing time is expected to decline.</p><p>Peters has been the only netminder to start for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, who are 3-0, and he has posted an impressive 0.98 goals against average and a .968 save percentage, allowing just three goals on 93 shots.</p><p>But with Tristan Jarry back from Pittsburgh, Peters knows he will take a backseat, starting with Wednesday&#8217;s matchup against the Hershey Bears.</p><p>Head coach Clark Donatelli confirmed after Tuesday&#8217;s practice that Jarry will be in net to face the Bears. John Muse is also with the club, giving Donatelli three capable netminders to choose from each night.</p><p>It&#8217;s a tough decision that he doesn&#8217;t mind having, considering the revolving door at the goaltending position last season.</p><p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a great situation to be in. Last year we were looking for goalies,&#8221; Donatelli said. &#8220;It will work itself out and they&#8217;ll all get the proper workload.&#8221;</p><p>For his part, Peters seems unfazed by the situation. He said he&#8217;s happy with his start, and Jarry&#8217;s arrival isn&#8217;t going to change his approach.</p><p>&#8220;You have to be ready every day. There&#8217;s games you don&#8217;t think you&#8217;re playing and you get thrown in,&#8221; Peters said. &#8220;Just be ready for the next time you go out.&#8221;</p><p>One thing has become since during the Penguins hot start: Team chemistry has developed quickly.</p><p>Peters said the chemistry is a result of unselfish attitudes. Players are playing for the good of the team rather than individual stats, he said.</p><p>Donatelli attributed the early chemistry to the composition of the roster and the recent road trip to Cleveland.</p><p>&#8220;Being on the road, being on the bus, the guys are getting to know each other,&#8221; he said. &#8220;There&#8217;s a good nucleus of team leaders and the new, young players fit in fine.&#8221;</p><p>The Penguins hot start will be put to the test over the next three games, which are against division rivals. After Wednesday&#8217;s home matchup against Hershey, they travel to Allentown to face Lehigh Valley on Friday and then host the Phantoms at home on Saturday.</p><p>Despite an 0-5 start, the Penguins aren&#8217;t taking the rival Bears lightly.</p><p>&#8220;Quite frankly it doesn&#8217;t matter to me,&#8221; said rookie Anthony Angello, who leads the Penguins with two goals and three points. Anyone can beat anybody in any given night. I know it&#8217;s cliche but it&#8217;s true, especially in this league.&#8221;</p><style>
