Chirps from Center Ice

–

Who: Lehigh Valley Phantoms

 Where: PPL Center

When: 7:05 p.m.

Last Game / Last Meeting: Last night in Wilkes-Barre, the Pens lost 3-2. Ryan Haggerty had both goals. Nicolas Aube-Kubel scored a pair also, one was the game winner just :28 intro the third period.

Record: For WBS: 30-25-7-3 (70 pts., 6th place Atlantic Division) // For LV: 32-27-3-3 (70 pts., 5th place Atlantic Division)

Referees: Kenny Anderson / Stephen Reneau

Linesmen: Jud Ritter / Jason Mandroc

Why You Should Care: Essentially must win for the Penguins tonight to maintain any iota of hope of catching Providence who leads these teams playing tonight in Allentown by seven points. Winning tonight doesn’t guarantee anything, but losing all but writes off the Penguins chances, barring a miracle, of a very late season charge at the four seed in the Atlantic.

Listen: Nick Hart on the call on WILK.

Watch: AHLTV is new and improved and a lot cheaper.

Other Game to Watch: Providence hosts the listless Binghamton Devils, who have lost nine straight.

Next Five Games: vs. SPR 3/24, vs. PRO 3/27, vs. SPR 3/30, vs. BRI 4/2, vs. BNG 4/5
