–

Where: Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza

When: 7:05 p.m.

Last Game: Last night at home against Springfield the Penguins won 4-1.

For Lehigh Valley, the Phantoms were in Binghamton last night and lost 3-1. Andy Welinski scored the only goal for Lehigh Valley on the power play.

Last Meeting: November 6 in Allentown, the Pens lost 4-2. Kyle Criscuolo had a pair of goals and an assist for the Phantoms. Ryan Haggerty and Jake Lucchini scored for the Penguins.

Record: For WBS: 9-5-1-1 (20 pts., 2nd place Atlantic Division) // For LV: 6-4-1-4 (17 pts., 6t place Atlantic Division)

Referees: Terry Koharski / Alex Normandin

Linesmen: Julian Fournier / Ryan Knapp

Why You Should Care: Can the Penguins continue the stingy play? Don’t expect Casey DeSmith tonight after a shutout Wednesday and 41 saves last night, it’s Dustin Tokarski’s time in net tonight. Lehigh Valley will be stewing over the one goal they put up in a bad display last night in Binghamton and won’t need any reason to get up for this rivalry game.

Listen: Nick Hart on the call on WILK.

Watch: AHLTV is back for another season and better than ever.
