Inside The Game
The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins will take on the Worcester Sharks tonight at 7:05 from the DCU Center.

Former NHL’er Claude Lemieux will play tonight against the Pens. He has 1 goal and 1 assist in 3 games so far this season.

Paul Bissonnette was asked about Lemieux’s comeback in a recent article by Jonathan Bombulie.

"I don’t blame him. I could see myself playing until that age because I’d probably get bored and have nothing else to do. You can’t really knock him because he’s got a goal and two apples so far. It seems like he’s contributing to his team. ... The guy did play in the NHL for 18 decades. He was playing when dinosaurs roamed the earth.

"We’ll definitely have a chat if he’s up to his old antics," Bissonnette said.

Goaltender Curtis Darling was called up from the Wheeling Nailers. He will back up Adam Berkhoel tonight. Dave Brown will miss the game due to personal reasons.
