Other Game to Watch: If the Pens win tonight, they go back to first in the division. We’ll all be watching that tonight. The other game worth your attention is Norfolk against Syracuse in Central New York. An Admirals win coupled with a Penguins regulation loss and Norfolk and Wilkes-Barre are on even footing points wise.
