Record: For WBS: 21-11-1-3 (46 pts., 2nd place East Division) — For HFD: 11-18-0-5 (27 pts., 5th place Northeast Division)

Why you should care: Penguins will have a golden opportunity to win a game tonight in front of what will likely be the first sellout crowd of the season against a Hartford team who isn’t the best this season. Hopefully, the Pens give the fans enough of a show to have them come back again, soon.
