<p>Anthony Peters made a season-high 39 saves Friday, but his Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins dropped a 4-3 overtime decision when Springfield&#8217;s Jacob McDaniel scored on a power play 1:16 into the extra period at MassMutual Center.</p><p>Ethan Prow sparked the Penguins by getting a stick on all three goals, finishing with a goal and two assists.</p><p>Springfield&#8217;s deadly power play saw Harry Zolnierczyk open the scoring with a tally 5:19 into the game.</p><p>The Penguins got on the board early in the second period with Joseph Cramarossa&#8217;s first goal of the year. Minutes later, Teddy Blueger potted a man advantage marker at 7:54 and gave Wilkes-Barre/Scranton its first lead of the game. However, Springfield offered a swift response as Paul Thomson evened things up, 2-2, 66 seconds after Blueger&#8217;s go-ahead goal.</p><p>Blaine Byron put the Penguins in a 3-2 hole going into the final stanza by scoring on a rebound with 1:24 left before the second intermission.</p><p>Halfway through the third period, Prow took a shot from the blueline that veered off of Springfield&#8217;s Ian McCoshen and into the back of the net for a 3-3 equalizer. The goal marked Prow&#8217;s third point on the night, giving him his third three-point game this season.</p><p>As time ran short in regulation, Peters conjured two magical glove saves to help the game reach overtime. Peters first denied Henrik Borgstr&#246;m with 1:01 left in the third period, and then came up with an equally spectacular stop on Ludwig Bystr&#246;m when only 1.7 seconds were shown on the clock.</p><p>MacDonald beat Peters 1:16 into the extra period with a one-timer on the power play, sending the Penguins home with their second straight overtime defeat. Samuel Montembeault finished the game with 26 saves in the win.</p><style>
