Media Kit

Last Game: For WBS: Last night vs. the Abbotsford Heat the Pens won 5-2. Eric Tangradi had a pair of goals. For SYR: Last night in Binghamton, the Crunch got shut out 7-0.

Record: For WBS,  23-6-0-0 (46 pts., 1st place East Division) – For SYR, 9-15-1-3 (22 pts., 7th place East Division)

Last Meeting: November 6 in Wilkes-Barre the Pens lost for the first time all season 4-3. Brett Sterling had two goals in the defeat.

Why you should care: This Crunch team beat Wilkes-Barre the last time the teams met but have only won 5 games since. This is a game on paper the Pens should easily win, but it has “trap game” written all over it. Truly elite teams have no problems dealing with inferior competition. Are the Pens truly an elite team? I guess we get a chance to find out tonight.
