Last Meeting: January 19 in Wilkes-Barre, the Pens won 4-1. Andrew Hutchinson made his return from injury and notched an assist.

Why you should care: The Penguins are on….wait for it….their first losing streak of the season having now lost two in a row. No way they lose three, not to Syracuse, right? The Crunch have given us problems all year. The Penguins are a bit down, having Dustin Jeffrey and Eric Tangradi up on recall to Pittsburgh. The Pens have played well enough to win games but haven’t put a full 60-minute effort together for some time. They need to turn it around or else we will all look back at this point of the season as the point it went sour.
