Last Game: Saturday at home vs. Hartford, the Pens won 5-3. They exploded for three goals in the third period. Anton Zlobin had two goals and was named first star of the game. For Providence, they hosted Manchester on Sunday and lost 2-1. Zach Trotman had the only goal for the P-Bruins in the loss.

Record: For WBS: 22-11-1-3 (48 pts., 2nd place East Division) — For PRO: 20-13-1-5 (46 pts., 2nd place Atlantic Division)

Why you should care: Battle of two second place teams in their respective divisions that play the same type of stingy hockey. Penguins open the first of three straight on the road and this is the first of two against this Providence team. Should be a great test for both teams.
