Why You Should Care: Coming off of a weekend where the Penguins played three games and only mustered a lowly point, rolling into Rochester where the Amerks have been good this season is not easy feat. Penguins need almost a perfect game if they want to, or expect to, have success in Rochester. Limit penalties, giveaways and chances and see where you are at in the third period.
