Last Game: Sunday at home against Hershey, the Pens won 5-4. Carter Rowney had a hat trick scored three different ways; shorthanded, even strength and on the power play. For Lehigh Valley, they lost Saturday in Binghamton 3-1. Petr Straka scored the only goal for the Phantoms in the loss.

Last Meeting: March 4 in Allentown, the Pens won 3-0. Tristan Jarry had a 36 save shutout and Dominik Simon scored two goals.

Record: For WBS: 35-19-4-1 (75 pts., 2nd place Atlantic Division) — For LV: 27-28-2-3 (59 pts., 7th place Atlantic Division)

Why you should care: The Penguins need to come out with the same fire they did Sunday in Hershey and match that same intensity against a Lehigh Valley team that is looking to play spoiler here with a month to play in the regular season. Will they? Remains to be seen. Expect Tristan Jarry in net for the Pens.
