Why you should care: The Admnirals are the hottest team in the league right now. Hands down. It’s not going to be easy today for the Pens whom will likely start Patrick Killeen in net with last nights injury to Scott Munroe. Stop Norfolk, and this puts the league on notice that the Pens, with an ECHL goalie in net can run with anyone.
