Berkhoel
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton goaltender Adam Berkhoel probably wishes the Penguins were playing the Lowell Devils more than twice this season.

A little more than two weeks after posting a 46-save whitewash of the Devils at the Tsongas Arena, Berkhoel made 26 saves in another shutout performance in Wilkes-Barre on Nov. 7, a 4-0 win for the Penguins. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton outscored Lowell 10-0 in the season series this year and holds a 4-0-0-0 all-time record against the third-year Devils.

Prior to this season, Berkhoel's only shutout in the AHL came on Feb. 23, 2008, when he made 18 saves for Grand Rapids in a 1-0 win over Manitoba.

Mannino
Peter Mannino is off to a great start with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers in the AHL. In 9 games he has 5 wins, 1 loss and 2 Shootout losses. He has a .912 save percentage.
