Record: For WBS, 28-8-0-0 (56 pts., 1st place East Division) For BRI, 18-16-1-2 (39 pts., 5th place Atlantic Division)

Why you should care: Against teams outside the East Division, the Pens are 8-0. Bridgeport used to be in the East Division before the realignment two years ago. The Pens are humming along while the Sound Tigers are struggling for their playoff lives. Look for WBS to jump on the Sound Tigers early so as not to make a game of it late.
