| Inside The Game |
| The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins will take place in the only AHL
game tonight, against the Hartford Wolf Pack. Obviously with the
Pittsburgh Penguins being riddled with injury, the line-up in WB/S is
depleted itself.
Hartford owns the league’s best powerplay, which cashes in 25% of the time! Joey Haddad, Alex Grant, and Mitch Ganzak will all be making their AHL debuts tonight. T.J. Fox was also recalled from the ECHL (Wheeling). The Pens will oppose former prospect goaltender Chad Johnson in net. John Curry goes for WB/S.
