Why You Should Care: Penguins are familiar with what the P-Bruins are going through. The Bruins are 0-3-0-1 and 4-4-1-1 in their last ten games and are in a slump, much like the Penguins were. But both teams are good, and good teams don’t stay in slumps very long. Bruins are going to be up for this one against Wilkes-Barre.

Other Game to Watch: Springfield has won five straight. They look for six in a row at home against the Binghamton Devils.
