Record: For WBS,  32-9-0-0 (64 pts., 1st place East Division) – For SYR, 15-22-1-4 (35 pts., 7th place East Division)

Last Meeting: December 29 in Wilkes-Barre, the Pens shutout the Crunch 5-0. Nick Johnson had a hat-trick and Brad Thiessen earned the shutout in net.

Why you should care: Pens are looking to bounce back from an uncharacteristic loss Sunday. They are also looking to get the power play clicking in the right direction again. Andrew Hutchinson could return this game, which would be huge. Syracuse got in early this morning after bussing in last night from Norfolk, so expect some tired Crunch bodies.
