Why you should care: Penguins get back on the ice looking to wash the stink that was Tuesday’s setback off of them against a Norfolk team they have had moderate success against (2-1-1-0 this season) and start the first of three this weekend. A strong start is a must.

Last Game / Last Meeting: Last night in Norfolk, the Pens lost 4-1. Warren Peters scored a second period goal and Admirals netminder Jeff Deslauriers stopped 31 of 32 shots.

Record: For WBS: 24-19-2-1 (51 pts., 3rd place East Division) For NOR: 19-23-2-1 (41 pts., 5th place East Division)

Why you should care: The Penguins let guys score goals last night who frankly don’t score goals. The “hey we won nine of ten games” mentality is last years news and the Penguins need a much better effort all around if they want to beat this pesky Admirals team
