vs.

Home Game 7

AHL Game: 259

Who: Norfolk Admirals

Where: Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza

When: 7:05 p.m. EST

Last Game: For WBS: Tuesday in Albany Wilkes-Barre dominated the Devils and cruised to a 4-1 victory. Dustin Jeffrey had a goal and two assists. For Norfolk: This past Sunday in Worcester, the Admirals lost 3-1. Paul Szczechura had the lone goal for the Admirals in defeat.

Record: For WBS, 12-2-0-0 (24 pts., 1st place East Division) — For NOR, 7-4-3-1 (18 pts., 4th place East Division)

Why you should care: The Admirals are out to prove that they are not the darkhorse in the division, but bonafide contender by wanting to come in and hand the Pens a loss on home ice. Familiar face Marc-Antoine Pouliot is skating for the Admirals and is 11th in league scoring. Cedrick Desjardins is their #1 goaltender and was an All-Star last year for the Hamilton Bulldogs. Norfolk is also the last team in the division we play the first time tonight and we are looking to continue the seperation from us and the rest of the competition with a convincing win this evening.
