Opening night for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins

The Penguins' first home game of the season was held at Mohegan Sun Arena Saturday night.

WILKES-BARRE TOWNSHIP, Pa. — It was a big night Saturday in Luzerne County as the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins took to the ice inside Mohegan Sun Arena for the first home game of the season, and fans were very excited.

The Penguins faced off against the Lehigh Valley Phantoms.

"The way the pre-season games looked, I'm super excited. We should do really well this year, barring injuries at Pittsburgh. I was always a big third, fourth line guy, rubbed jerseys with Mike Rupp, you know, so those are the guys that win you championships. Don't get me wrong, you need scoring from the top guys, but bottom guys play important roles too," said Joseph Wagner, a Penguins fan.

The Phantoms won against the Penguins 3-2 in overtime.
