PENGUINS CLINCH SEVENTH CONSECUTIVE CALDER CUP PLAYOFFS APPEARANCE

group WILKES-BARRE, PA - With their 1-0 win over the Hershey Bears on Sunday night, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins have secured their seventh consecutive appearance in the Calder Cup Playoffs.

The win gives the Penguins 96 points on the season. The Philadelphia Phantoms, who hold down the fifth spot in the East Division, have 82 with seven games remaining, meaning even if they won all seven, the Phantoms would not be able to pass the Penguins in the division standings.
