For Syracuse, they hosted the Norfolk Admirals last night and won 6-3. Patrick Maroon had a hat trick, and assist and was +4 for the Crunch against a depleted Norfolk team.

Record: For WBS: 23-12-1-4 (51 pts., 2nd place East Division) For SYR: 18-15-3-2 (41 pts., 4th place East Division)

Why you should care: The Penguins should be concerned about the Syracuse Crunch who have been a team who has had the Pens number all year long. Tonight’s game is a televised one and is also sell-out, so Wilkes-Barre needs to come out strong against this team and put them away early.
