What to Watch For: IceCaps rink rust, having not played in a week vs. the Penguins more active legs coming off of two games this week including a Game 7 Wednesday. Does IceCaps veteran leader Jason Jaffray play? His status was day-to-day. These two teams played four times in the regular season but since both lineups have gone through some changes.
