Record: For WBS, 33-10-0-0 (66 pts., 1st place East Division) — For ALB, 17-22-0-3 (37 pts., 6th place East Division)

Last Meeting: December 26 in Wilkes-Barre, the Pens won in a shootout 5-4. Bryan Lerg had two goals in regulation.

Why you should care: Game officially sold out Friday morning. Game is going to be televised locally in Wilkes-Barre. Pens are coming off the worst loss of the season last night. How the Pens respond tonight is going to set the stage for how the next 20 games will play out in my mind. If tonight is a blowout win, other teams better take notice. If it is a grind it out loss, other teams will take notice that Wilkes-Barre is vulnerable. Boys probably can’t wait to get this one going tonight. On both sides because Albany wants to put last night thrashing by the Bears behind them too.
