Media Kit

Last Game: Sunday in Hershey, the Penguins surged to a 2-0 lead over the Bears but lost 3-2. Jayson Megna had both goals for Wilkes-Barre in the loss. For Portland, they were in Providence on Sunday and lost 3-2 also. Brendan Shinnimin had a goal in the loss for the Pirates and was named third star of the game.

Record: For WBS: 9-7-1-0 (19 pts., 1st place East Division) — For POR: 8-8-0-0 (16 pts., 4th place Atlantic Division)

Why you should care: Wilkes-Barre comes into the new week at home against a Pirates team which has been struggling of late, winning two of their last five contests. The Penguins by their own admission beat themselves this past weekend with losses to Syracuse and Hershey. They will need a full 60 minute effort if they want to beat the Pirates tonight.

When: 5:00 p.m.

Media Kit

Last Game: Last night at home vs. the Crunch, the Pens lost 3-2. The Penguins were up 2-0 but Syracuse scored three unanswered goals and won the game…. For Hershey, they suffered a similar fate to the Crunch Friday. The Bears were up 1-0 and then the Crunch scored five unanswered goals and won 5-1.

Last Meeting: November 7 in Wilkes-Barre, the Pens won in overtime 3-2. Jayson Megna scored the game winning goal at 1:01 in overtime to win.

Why you should care: The Bears come into this contest rested and ready for their biggest rival. Hershey can’t catch the Penguins for the Division lead today, but they can put a dent in it with a win and with the fact that the Bears have two games in hand on the Penguins coming into today.

AHL Game: 201

Who: Lehigh Valley Phantoms

Where: Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza

When: 7:05 p.m.

Media Kit

Last Game: Sunday at home vs. Syracuse, the Pens won in overtime, 5-4. J-S Dea had the overtime game winning goal and Beau Bennett had four assists. For Lehigh Valley, they were in Portland last Saturday and were shutout by the Pirates 3-0.

Last Meeting: October 29 in Allentown, the Pens won in overtime 2-1. J-S Dea had the game winning goal in that game too.

Why you should care: Two teams on two different trends Friday night in Wilkes-Barre. The Pens have won three in a row and are at the top of the East Division. The Phantoms have lost five of their last six. But you know when the puck drops at 7:05, none of this will matter between the two teams.
