Johnny Curry Pushes Scranton To Big Weekend

 John Curry headlined a four-point weekend for the Scranton Wilkes Barre Penguins, playing two tough games to get a 6-3 victory in Binghamton and a 4-3 Shootout victory over Syracuse.

Friday night's game saw Curry record 38 saves on 41 shots, while fellow BU baller Brian Strait added an assist and went +3 on the night.

On Saturday, Curry made 29 saves on 32 shots, enough to push the game to a shootout.

As we know, Johnny Curry is at his best in ridiculous breakaway situations, so the shootout was pretty much built for him.  Syracuse apparently didn't get the memo that you DO NOT go low glove slide on Johnny Curry, as each of their first two attempts tried to deke in a goal pas Curry's left leg.  Curry made two sprawling kick saves (5:45 and 6:30 in the video) and then knocked down Syracuse's final attempt with his glove to ice the win.





On the year, Curry is 3-2 with a 2.56 GAA.
