Away Game 5

AHL Game: 166

Who: Rochester Americans

Where: Blue Cross Arena

When: 7:35 p.m. EST

Last Game: For WBS: Last Saturday in Hershey, the Pens dominated the 11-time Calder Cup Champions in front of their fans and won, 6-2. Chris Conner had a three point night (2+1) and was the games third star. For Rochester: Last Saturday in Glens Falls the Amerks beat the Phantoms 5-3. Ex-Penguin Bill Thomas was a +3 with three points (2+1) and rookie defenseman Colby Robak had two goals, the game tying goal and the go ahead goal and was named the games first star.

Record: For WBS, 8-0-0-0 (16 pts., 1st place East Division) — For RCH, 6-4-1-0 (13 pts., 2nd place North Division)

Why you should care: This is going to be a true test for the Wilkes-Barre / Scranton Penguins tonight as Amerks goaltender Jacob Markstrom who is expected to get the start tonight is no joke. He is probably one of the reasons why the Americans are at the top of the North Division this year. WBS will have its first look at one of the more premiere goaltenders in this league.
