Penguins GM Rutherford signs new deal, trades for Pearson

<p>As a goalie, Tristan Jarry is pretty accustomed to stopping shots.</p><p>On Wednesday, he made one &#8212; and made a bit of Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins history along with it.</p><p>Jarry recorded the first goal by a goalie in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton&#8217;s 20 years of existence and the Penguins (8-5-1-1) tallied late in all three periods while smothering Springfield, 5-1 at MassMutual Center.</p><p>Jarry scored an empty netter in the third period and then led the fist bump line for the 14th goal by a goalie in AHL history.</p><p>He also made 30 saves while tormenting Springfield at his regular job in the defensive end.</p><p>The Penguins and Thunderbirds began the game in power struggle, and when Springfield turned up the heat, both Jarry and forward Teddy Blueger came up with big saves to keep the game scoreless. Jarrett Burton broke through at 16:25 of the first stage by redirecting a shot from Stefan Elliott. A little over a minute later, Linus &#214;lund buried one through the five-hole of Michael Hutchinson, giving Wilkes-Barre/Scranton a 2-0 lead.</p><p>Once again, the middle frame began with back-and-forth scoring opportunities for both squads, but neither team could find the back of the net until there was only 3:40 left before the intermission. Derek Grant fed Anthony Angello in the slot, and Angello sent his shot soaring into the top right corner of the net.</p><p>From then on, the game became about securing the shutout for Jarry. Despite stout team defense in the third period, Springfield rallied for a single tally during a late man advantage, extra attacker situation. Shortly after Joel Lowry soiled the clean sheet, Jarry got his revenge by scoring the first goal of his career at 18:35 of the final frame.</p><p>Jimmy Hayes tacked on another goal for good measure, making it 5-1 with 35.4 seconds remaining in regulation.</p><p>Both Jarry and Hutchinson turned away 30 shots on the day.</p><p>Wilkes-Barre/Scranton&#8217;s next game is at 7:05 p.m. Friday, in what promises to be a heated head-to-head with the Charlotte Checkers at Mohegan Sun Arena.</p><style>
