Last Game: Tuesday at home vs. Springfield, the Penguins won 5-0. Matt Murray collected his fifth shutout of the season, third against Springfield, with a 28 save shutout. For the Bears, they were in Binghamton last night and won 3-2. Ex-Penguin Chris Conner had two goals for the Bears.

Last Meeting: January 3 in Hershey, the Pens lost in a shootout 2-1. Matia Marcantuoni scored the only goal for the Penguins in the loss.

Record: For WBS: 25-18-1-3 (54 pts., 2nd place East Division) — For HER: 26-13-4-2 (58 pts., 1st place East Division)

Why you should care: The Bears have points in their last eight games. They are playing like an East Division leader and are, rightfully. The Penguins need to win head-to-head games against Hershey if they have any chance of looking to re-take first in the East, just with all the games in hand Hershey seems to have on Wilkes-Barre. Will be a great test for the Penguins tonight in Hershey against the Bears.
