Joel Blomqvist returned from injury and played his first game since his last NHL start on March 2 in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 4-1 win over the Springfield Thunderbirds on Saturday. He stopped 22 of 23 shots in the win.
Forward Nolan Renwick, recently signed by Wilkes-Barre to an AHL contract, scored his first pro goal in only his third game. The Penguins' other goals were Broz's 19th, Atley Calvert's seventh and Emil Bemstrom's team-leading 22nd, the latter being an empty-netter.
(The weird jerseys are because they did their annual one-game rebrand to something crazy. They were the UFOs today.)
