The Penguins began the second period with 1:57 minutes of power play time trickling over from the first, but even with the man-advantage, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton were outshot 2-1 during this time. After that, the Penguins kept the shot differential relatively close at 9-8 in their favor despite Hershey getting two power plays. But at the 17:11 mark of the second frame, Bears forward Bogdan Trineyev would punch in the game-winning goal past Penz goalie Sergei Murashov to go up 2-0 heading into the second break.
