Last Game / Last Meeting: This past Sunday at home the Pens were dealt their worst loss in some time, losing 9-5. For the Pens, Brett Sterling had two goals. For the Checkers, Zach Boychuk had three goals and an assist. Zac Dalpe had 4 assists.

Record: For WBS, 34-11-0-0 (68 pts., 1st place East Division) For CHA, 25-16-1-4 (55 pts., 4th place East Division)

Why you should care: Charlotte beat up the Pens Sunday. Curry was destroyed that game but it was more due to fatigue on his part having played every game of the weekend leading up to the Sunday afternoon game. The Checkers will be without the services of Zach Boychuk who was recalled to parent Carolina Monday morning. The Checkers, along with the Admirals and Bears are gunning for the top spot in the East. The Pens know this. They are rested and ready for the rematch this evening. Look for an entirely different game tonight.
