AHL Playoffs: Tangradi scores 1st career playoff goal in game 2 loss

Jamie McBain scored a late third period goal as the Albany River Rats defeated the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins by a score of 3-2 on Friday night at the Times Union Center to take a 2-0 series lead in the best-of-seven East Division Semifinals.

The series now shifts to Wilkes Barre for games 3 and 4 on Sunday and Tuesday.

The Penguins who entered the series as under-dogs got a strong game from top prospect Eric Tangradi who according to sources could be added to the Penguins playoff roster as early as Wednesday, if Wilkes Barre is eliminated.
