Last Game: Saturday at home vs. Lehigh Valley, the Penguins were up 2-0, only to see the Phantoms score six unanswered and lose 6-2. Bryan Rust and Andrew Ebbett both had two assists in the losing effort. For Springfield, the Falcons were in Hartford Saturday and lost 3-1. Marko Dano had the lone goal for Springfield in the loss.

Last Meeting: Friday in Springfield, the Falcons were shutout by the Penguins 5-0. Matt Murray had his fourth shutout of the season with 28 saves.

Record: For WBS: 24-18-1-3 (52 pts., 2nd place East Division) — For SPR: 26-15-4-0 (56 pts., 3rd place Northeast Division)

Why you should care: Penguins still souring over the blowout loss against the Phantoms on home ice in front of a sellout crowd Saturday and the Falcons are stumbling and still haven’t scored a goal against the Penguins this season in two prior meetings. Two teams not in desperation mode but the winner will feel better heading into the weekend than the loser, obviously.
