The game’s scoring opened at 5:49 of the first period when Wilkes-Barre/Scranton forward Warren Peters scored his fourth goal of the year with help from Brian Gibbons and Paul Thompson. The Penguins struck again as forward Bobby Farnham netted one, unassisted, at 18:08 to give his team a 2-0 edge heading into the first intermission.
The Penguins widened their lead to three at 5:48 of the second frame. Defenseman Philip Samuelsson scored his first goal of the season with assists by Gibbons and Trevor Smith, keeping the B-Sens scoreless after 40 minutes.

Prince then completed the comeback, scoring the game-winner at 17:15, assisted by Cole Schneider.
