Last Game: Wednesday in Syracuse the Pens were shutout 1-0. For Norfolk, Wednesday they hosted the Adirondack Phantoms and won 3-0. Frederik Andersen had a 32 save shutout.

Last Meeting: February 27 in Wilkes-Barre, the Pens lost 2-1. The aforementioned Frederik Andersen made 26 saves on 27 shots.

Record: For WBS: 34-27-2-1 (71 pts., 3rd place East Division) For NOR: 30-28-4-1 (65 pts., 5th place East Division)

Why you should care: This is the only game of the weekend for the Penguins which will be a televised game in front of a sold out crowd. They need to win this game and cool off the Admirals. They also need to win this game because they have not had much success in against divisional foes this season. Finally, Portland, Hershey and Connecticut are looking to distance themselves or catch and pass the Pens in the playoff jockeying.

Other Game to Watch: Every team in the league is playing tonight but the game I’m keeping my eye on is Hershey and Manchester, two teams behind the Pens for playoff seeding. What you want here is a game decided in regulation.
