What to Watch For: The Penguins have been average at home this season and historically stumble in opening round games. Tonight is going to be important vs. a depleted Hershey team to jump on them early and snuff out the explosiveness the Bears offense contains. Also paramount is to stay disciplined and out of the penalty box because of the Bears excellent special teams.
