Why you should care: The Phantoms have won four in a row coming into tonights contest against the Penguins. Two of those wins have come against some good teams in Hartford (a desperate team seeking a playoff berth) and Providence (a lethal team that can strike at any time) so the Penguins need to take the already eliminated Phantoms seriously if they want to punch their ticket to the Calder Cup Playoffs without help tonight.
