Away Game 4

AHL Game: 135

Who: Hershey Bears

Where: GIANT Center

When: 7:00 p.m. EST

Last Game: For WBS: In Glens Falls, the Pens won 4-1 to stay undefeated. Andrew Hutchinson back from recall from Pittsburgh had two assists. Rookie Carl Sneep scored his first professional goal. For Hershey: Last night in Syracuse, the Bears won in overtime 4-3. Boyd Kane had two goals, including the overtime game winner and took 8 SOG. Lawrence Nycholat was a +4.

Record: For WBS, 7-0-0-0 (14 pts., 1st place East Division) — For HER, 5-2-0-1 (11 pts., 2nd place East Division)

Last Meeting: On 10/22, Wilkes-Barre won 3-2. Joe Vitale had two goals.

Why you should care: Save for no injuries or call ups to Pittsburgh, this is the best the Penguins lineup is going to look. Hershey isn’t completely at 100% with injuries to Sheldon Souray and #1 Goaltender Braden Holtby in Washington currently. Wilkes-Barre is heading into GIANT Center, where they had no success last year looking to send what is sure to be a packed house home sad tonight. Win three in a row against The Champs and consider the tone set as to where the East Division Championship is going this year.
