Last Meeting: February 18 in Albany the Pens were shutout 3-0.

Why you should care: Penguins can’t win the division this year, but they can try and stay up on the Hershey Bears by winning. Who gets the start in net tonight? Brad Thiessen was scheduled to start but with Scott Munroe’s 32 save clean sheet last night do you put him back in?
