Last Game: For WBS: Saturday in Worcester, the Pens won 2-0. Brad Thiessen was the star of the show shutting out the Sharks. He stopped all 38 shots he faced. Tim Wallace and Ryan Craig had goals. For ALB: The Devils lost 3-2 in Portland against the Pirates. Familiar pest Louis Robitaille had an assist, two shots and 17 PIM. He was suspended Monday by the league for his actions in the game and will not play tonight.

Record: For WBS, 11-2-0-0 (22 pts., 1st place East Division) — For ALB, 6-8-0-0 (12 pts., 7th place East Division)

Why you should care: The Albany Devils are last years Lowell Devils, essentially the same team with a different demonic looking logo on their sweater. The team is dealing with call-ups, so it’s core may be a bit fractured. Look for Wilkes-Barre to pounce on the Devils early so as not to make a game of it late.
