Home Game: 8

AHL Game: 176

Who: Providence Bruins

Where: Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza

When: 7:05 p.m.

Media Kit

Last Game: Last night in against Toronto, the Pens were shutout and lost 3-0. Second regulation loss for the Penguins and in that, second time they were shutout. For Providence, the P-Bruins were in Binghamton and won 4-2. Malcom Subban stopped 38 of 40 shots and picked up his first win since a throat injury which sidelined most of his season last year.

Last Meeting: This past Sunday in Providence, the P-Bruins were the first team in eight games to score more than one regulation goal on the Penguins but it was Wilkes-Barre that would emerge the victor in a shootout. Garrett Wilson’s bottom of the fourth round shootout goal was the one that secured the weekend sweep for Wilkes-Barre..

Record: For WBS: 8-2-1-0 (17 pts., 1st place Atlantic Division) — For PRO: 4-5-2-1 (11 pts., 6th place Atlantic Division)

Why you should care: Penguins and Bruins rematch Saturday night in Wilkes-Barre after their stellar, back and forth affair this past Sunday. If that game was any indicator how this series between these two clubs is going to be this year, tonight should be another great game.

Who: Toronto Marlies

Where: Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza

When: 7:05 p.m.

Media Kit

Last Game: Sunday in Providence, the Pens needed a shootout to get past the Providence Bruins and won 5-4. Garrett Wilson’s bottom of the fourth round shootout goal was the decider as the Penguins skated home with the extra point to complete a three game weekend sweep. For Toronto, the Marlies were up in Newfoundland against the St. John’s IceCaps and won 3-2. Ex-Penguin Kasperi Kapanen scored two goals in the win.

Record: For WBS: 8-1-1-0 (17 pts., 1st place Atlantic Division) — For TOR: 7-2-0-1 (15 pts., 1st place North Division)

Why you should care: Tonight is a battle of the two best teams in the American Hockey League. The Penguins and Marlies matchup is deep, and this should be a hell of a game as well as a stiff test for both teams.

Away Game: 4

AHL Game: 140

Who: Providence Bruins

Where: Dunkin’ Donuts Center

When: 3:05 p.m.

Media Kit

Last Game: Last night in Bridgeport, the Pens won 7-1. Jake Guentzel stayed hot with two goals, and two assists, good for first start honors. For the P-Bruins, they hosted Hartford and won 6-2. Dan Vladar stopped 35 of 37 shots put forward by the Wolf Pack. Ex-Penguin Alex Grant had a goal and two assists.

Record: For WBS: 7-1-1-0 (15 pts., 1st place Atlantic Division) — For PRO: 3-5-2-0 (8 pts., 6th place Atlantic Division)

Why you should care: Penguins travel to the place that they advanced to the second round of the playoffs back in April in Providence. The P-Bruins played three games in three nights as did the Penguins, so expect an even matchup in that regard and with the Penguins being the division leader, expect Providence’s best this afternoon.

Away Game: 3

AHL Game: 126

Who: Bridgeport Sound Tigers

Where: Webster Bank Arena

When: 7:00 p.m.

Media Kit

Last Game: Last night in Wilkes-Barre against the Binghamton Senators, the Pens won 4-1. Tom Kostopoulos notched his 399th and 400th points in a Penguins sweater and was named first star of the game. For Bridgeport, the Sound Tigers were in Hartford last night and won 5-4 in overtime. Adam Pelech scored the overtime game winner 50 seconds into overtime and was named first star of the game.

Record: For WBS: 6-1-1-0 (13 pts., 1st place Atlantic Division)  — For BRI: 6-3-0-0 (12 pts., 3rd place Atlantic Division)

Why you should care: Don’t underestimate this Bridgeport team who own victories over Springfield, Lehigh Valley and Albany, all teams who are expected to contend. Pens will need a full 60 minute effort if they want to get out of Southern Connecticut with the win tonight.
