Last Game: Wednesday at home vs. Binghamton, the Pens won 4-1. Dominik Uher scored two first period goals and was named first star of the game. For Portland, the Pirates were shutout 1-0 by the St. John’s IceCaps in Newfoundland.

Last Meeting: November 19 in Wilkes-Barre, the Penguins won 2-0. Jeff Zatkoff had a 23 save shutout.

Record: For WBS: 27-18-2-3 (59 pts., 2nd place East Division) — For POR: 26-19-3-0 (55 pts., 3rd place Atlantic Division)

Why you should care: The Penguins want to keep it rolling tonight against the Pirates, who have proven that they can score goals (having beaten St. John’s last Friday 8-1) and looking to stay above the cut line in the Eastern Conference. Another thing to look for is who starts in goal tonight. Does Hynes go back to Zatkoff and start Murray Saturday against the Phantoms?
