GAMEDAY: @ Rochester 11/7

Away Game 6

AHL Game: 189

Who: Rochester Americans

Where: Blue Cross Arena

When: 5:05 p.m. EST

Last Game: For WBS: Last night vs. Syracuse, Wilkes-Barre lost 4-3. Brett Sterling had two goals in the loss. For Rochester: Last night at Albany, Rochester won 6-4. Ex-Penguin Bill Thomas had a three point night with two goals and an assist (yet still was a -1).

Record: For WBS, 9-1-0-0 (18 pts., 1st place East Division)  — For RCH, 7-5-1-0 (15 pts., 3rd place North Division)

Last Meeting: This past Friday in Rochester, the Pens won by a score of 5-4. Five different players scored for the Pens. Michael Duco had a goal and an assist for the Americans.

Why you should care: This is the tail end of the first three-in three for the Penguins. Due to silly AHL scheduling, this is the second game in three nights in Rochester for the Penguins with a home date last night against division rival Syracuse sandwiched in between. Rochester bussed to Albany last night so there may be no real advantage. There could be a bout of tired legs spread across the ice this evening in Rochester. Could very well be whichever team scores first today wins, Penguins want to make sure it is them who light the lamp first. Penguins lost last night, so they want to get right back on the winning horse this afternoon.
