Calder Cup Playoffs: Bill Zonnon Scores First AHL Goal in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 2-0 Win
Bill Zonnon had one heck of a night for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Tuesday.
The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins got off to a great start in their Atlantic Division Final series against the Springfield Thunderbirds on Tuesday. WBS won Game 1 2-0, taking a 1-0 lead in the best-of-five series against Springfield. The game was scoreless heading into the second period before Penguins prospect Bill Zonnon scored his first AHL goal in his first AHL game.
Zonnon got the puck right by the left circle and cut to the net with a beautiful backhand move to make it 1-0 almost halfway through the second period. BILL ZONNON GOAL 1-0 WBS @InsideAHLHockey pic. twitter.

WBS took a 1-0 lead into the third period and got a huge insurance goal from Tanner Howe with 12:41 left in the final frame. Howe came in on a breakaway and fired the puck top shelf, making it a 2-0 game.
