The Season Still Lives In The AHL

Not so fast -- the North American pro season's not over quite yet.

The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins used a goal from former Alaska Aces sniper Chris Minard in a 3-2 win over the visiting Chicago Wolves on Friday night to stave off elimination in the American Hockey League's Calder Cup Finals.

Even so, Chicago owns a 3-1 lead heading into Game 5 tonight in Pennsylvania. All five goals in Friday's game came on the power play, and Minard's came during a 5-on-3 advantage in the first period.

Minard's goal was his 11th in 21 playoff games, which ranks third in the league and just one off the lead.
