Wilkes-Barre/Scranton forward Luca Caputi scored twice in the second period to give the Penguins a 2-1 lead over the Albany River Rats after 40 minutes.
Caputi netted his sixth goal of the season at 3:11, and added his seventh at 12:10 for Wilkes-Barre. Defenseman Zack FitzGerald tied the game at 1-1 for Albany on his second goal in 16 games this season at 9:56.
Rookie goaltenders Mike Murphy of Albany (21 saves) and Brad Thiessen of Wilkes-Barre (24 saves) have both been sharp. The Rats are 0-for-3 on the power play; the Pens are 1-for-2.
Wilkes-Barre is 6-0-1-0 when leading after two periods this season; Albany is 1-6 when trailing after two.
Former Union College defenseman Lane Caffaro, playing his second game for Wilkes-Barre in the absence of the recalled Deryk Engelland and Ben Lovejoy, fought Albany's Steve Goertzen just four seconds into the game. There have been four fights overall, three of them in the first period.
