Last Game: Last night at home vs. Albany the Penguins won 4-0. They scored three power play goals in the win. For the Bears, they hosted the Crunch and lost 2-1. Joey Crabb scored the only goal for the Bears in the loss.

Last Meeting: March 1 in Wilkes-Barre, the Pens lost 3-2. Joey Mormina and the gone but not forgotten Tom Kostopoulos score the goals for the Penguins.

Record: For WBS: 39-28-2-2 (82 pts., 3rd place East Division) For HER: 33-27-3-6 (75 pts., 4th place East Division)

Why you should care: The Pens can put an end to the “can Hershey catch us” hype with a win today. It’s that simple. Win, and it’s a nine point cushion on the Bears. Lose, it’s a five point cushion with the Bears having two games in hand on the Penguins. Just win baby.
