Record: For WBS: 34-19-2-4 (74 pts., 2nd place East Division) — For HER: 36-16-5-2 (79 pts., 1st place East Division)

Why you should care: These two teams are as evenly matched as two teams can be. They both haven’t lost much recently (Bears: 17-3-1-1 Penguins: 14-2-1-1) and have goaltenders (Philipp Grubauer and Matt Murray) who are premier AHL goaltenders. They both don’t like each other and this matchup has divisional championship implications.
