Why You Should Care: Wilkes-Barre needs a rebound here in Hershey today. Penguins need to be more disciplined than they were yesterday against Rochester. For Hershey, the Bears were smoked Friday against Lehigh Valley and shutout the Admirals so this will be a nice test for a Bears team who are .500 through the first weekend of December.

Other Game to Watch: Providence, nipping on the Penguins heels, travel to Bridgeport for a meeting against a Sound Tigers team who have an eight game point streak.

Next Five Games: @ LV 12/6, CHA 12/8, @ HER 12/10, SPR 12/13, @ HFD 12/15
