Last Game: For WBS: The Pens were supposed to play Sunday in Atlantic City vs. the Albany Devils but due to unsafe ice conditions, the game was postponed to February 7. For ABB: Last night vs. the Rochester Americans the Heat won 1-0. Ex-Penguin Ryan Stone had the only goal, while goaltender Leland Irving earned his third shutout of the year.

Record: For WBS, 21-6-0-0 (42 pts., 1st place East Division) — For ABB, 16-12-0-3 (35 pts., 2nd place North Division)

Why you should care: Abbotsford is an unknown opponent to most because they play out West in the Pacific time zone and most games are at 10 p.m. Wilkes-Barre time. They are a gritty defensive team. They have familiar faces in the aforementioned ex-Pen Ryan Stone and ex-Bear Quintin Laing. This should be a “feeling-out” game and very well could be a one goal game.
