Last Meeting: December 4 in St. John’s the Penguins lost 3-2 in overtime. Oskar Sundqvist and Chad Ruhwedel scored for the Pens in the loss.

Record: For WBS: 33-9-3-0 (69 pts., 1st place Atlantic Division) — For STJ: 20-18-5-1 (46 pts., 3rd place North Division)

Why you should care: Much different IceCaps team from the one we saw in December. This team is a playoff team right now and has been one of the better teams in the North Division for a while now. The Penguins will need a full 60 minute effort tonight if they want to get their unofficial start of the second half of the season off on the right foot.
