Home Game: 23

AHL Game: 657

Who: Norfolk Admirals

Where: Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza

When: 7:05 p.m.

Media Kit

Last Game: Wednesday at home vs. Syracuse, the Penguins won 4-0. Eric Hartzell had a 20 save shutout. Denver Manderson scored his first AHL goal. For Norfolk, they were supposed to play the Charlotte Checkers at home Tuesday but were postponed due to weather, so the Admirals last game was last Saturday at home vs. the Penguins, a 2-1 shootout loss.

Last Meeting: January 25 in Norfolk, the Pens won 2-1. Tom Kuhnhackl scored in the top of the eighth round of the shootout to win it for the Penguins.

Record: For WBS: 26-14-1-3 (56 pts., 2nd place East Division) — For NOR: 22-13-1-7 (52 pts., 3rd place East Division)

Why you should care: Norfolk pretty much owns the Mohegan Sun Arena, having tremendous success in the home of the Penguins. The Pens will need to defend home ice and play a solid 60 minute game against the rival Admirals in order to take the two points home with them tonight.

Away Game: 21

AHL Game: 619

Who: Norfolk Admirals

Where: Norfolk Scope

When: 7:15 p.m.

Media Kit

Last Game / Last Meeting: In a game which will be remembered for the fight between goaltenders John Gibson and Jeff Deslauriers, the Pens lost 4-1. Zach Sill scored the only goal for Wilkes-Barre in the loss.

Record: For WBS: 24-13-1-3 (52 pts., 2nd place East Division) — For NOR: 22-13-1-6 (51 pts., 3rd place East Division)

Why you should care: Probably the most important game of the season for both teams. The Penguins don’t want to look up at the Norfolk Admirals in the standings at any point during the year, and the Admirals have a golden opportunity to catch and pass Wilkes-Barre and set their sights on the division leading Binghamton Senators.
