Last Game: Last night at home, the Penguins clinched their twelfth straight trip to the Calder Cup Playoffs with a 2-1 win vs. division rival Binghamton. Scott Harrington scored the go ahead goal in the third period and Peter Mannino stopped 15 of 16 shots. For Toronto, they were in Syracuse last night and lost 6-3. Sam Carrick had a goal and and assist in the loss.

Last Meeting: March 9 in Toronto, the Pens won in a shootout 4-3. Nick Drazenovic scored a goal and one in the shootout and was named first star of the game.

Record: For WBS: 42-23-3-5 (92 pts., 1st place East Division) — For TOR: 42-24-2-4 (90 pts., 1st place North Division)

Why you should care: The Toronto Marlies don’t get smacked around often like they did last night in Syracuse, in a game that saw over a hundred penalty minutes. The Penguins still have a division that they are contending for and cannot take this what would seem like otherwise meaningless game now that they have clinched for granted. There are still games to play and division championships to be decided in the East so the Penguins have to treat this game as they would one in November or December if they want to win.
