DU Alum Connor James helped keep the Wilkes-Barre Penguins Calder Cup hopes alive with a goal in the Baby Pens 5-1 win over the Chicago Wolves and another DU Alum Kevin Doell.

Chicago leads the series 3-2 with Game 6 on Tuesday night. The Wolves had a 3-0 lead in this series with Wilkes-Barre winning games 4 and 5 to stay alive.

When discussing his team’s 5-1 loss in Game 5, Wolves coach John Anderson detailed the defensive breakdowns that led to second-period goals by Dave Gove and Connor James that gave the Penguins a 2-1 lead.

“(Gove’s goal) was a 3-on-3 and we went to pick up the trailer and went to the wrong guy and they banged it in. Great play,” Anderson said. “Then Connor James comes down about 2,000 mph, made a beautiful shot top shelf and changed the whole complexion.”
