A roller coaster season ends with a handshake line that goes the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins way. The 25-26 season is over. Last postgame article of the year to come.

Wilkes-Barre hits the empty net.

The 25-26 season will end tonight.

With 2:18 to go, Hershey back to the power play. Truly the last chance now as they take their timeout.
