Why you should care: The last time these two teams met, the Sound Tigers were in the bottom five out of the thirty team AHL. Since, they simply have been on a tear. They have rocketed through the standings and are arguably the hottest team in the AHL right now. Tonight’s game will not be easy for the Pens. They will need a focused effort to get a point tonight and a solid effort to get two points.
