Last Game: On Wednesday in Hershey, the Pens won in a shootout 6-5. Geoff Walker had a goal, assist and the game winning shootout goal in the bottom of the ninth round to win it. For Bridgeport, last night in Norfolk the Sound Tigers lost 3-2. Tony Romano and Casey Cizikas scored the goals in the loss.

Record: For WBS: 17-10-1-4 (39 pts., 3rd place East Division) For BRI: 12-16-3-1 (28 pts., 5th place Northeast Division)

Why you should care: First meeting of the season between the old East Division foes. Pens look to close out 2011 on a winning note. The Sound Tigers have lost nine straight road games. Who starts in net? Thiessen or Munroe?

* – Bridgeport really doesn’t have a true “radio” broadcast. The Sound Tigers-centric radio feed is going to be found on AHL Live under the “radio” tab.
