BLACK AND GOLD BITS

News and Notes from the Pens Game One win over the Syracuse Crunch:

Barry Goers picked up two assists in Game One.  He had two assists in 16 games during last season’s Pens playoff run.

Ryan Parent (pictured), who was signed to a PTO by the Pens earlier this week, made his Wilkes-Barre/Scranton debut Friday night, going even and scoreless.

Scott Harrington, who was reassigned to Wilkes-Barre from Pittsburgh on Thursday, was a team-high plus-4 in Game One.  That mark also leads the AHL.

Carter Rowney had three points (1+2) against the Crunch on Friday.  He had two points (0+2) in seven postseason games with the Penguins last year.

Five Penguins players hit double digits in points in Game One.  In addition to Goers and Rowney, Kasperi Kapanen had two goals, Dominik Uher had a goal and an assist, and Jayson Megna had two assists.

Danny Syvret, who has appeared in more than 600 regular season games at the AHL and NHL levels combined, netted his first career postseason goal in Game One.
