Why you should care: This is going to be a sellout crowd tonight. It’s also going to be on local TV for those who couldn’t make it. The Pens have won four games in a row. Getting to five is not going to be easy as the Admirals are going to be desperate to get back up to tops in the division. (note: Paul Thompson was assigned to Wheeling earlier today by WBS and Carl Sneep and Jason Williams were recalled by Pittsburgh)
