Summary
The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, the AHL’s youngest team, stunned everyone with a third-best regular season record and a deep playoff run to the Eastern Conference Final — their furthest since 2014. They battled Toronto Marlies to overtime in two games before falling, but every player emerged stronger, gaining invaluable playoff experience. Coach Kirk MacDonald praised the management for bringing in not just talent but character, creating a locker room full of trust, camaraderie, and unselfishness. Even with injuries and NHL call-ups, the team celebrated each other’s success and ranked third in offense. Goalie Sergei Murashov shined in the playoffs, earning a spot on the 2025-26 AHL Top Prospects Team. With NHL experience and newfound maturity, this squad is primed for greatness.
