Inside The Game
The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins look to defeat the rival Philadelphia Phantoms tonight, at home from the Wachovia Arena. The Pens are riding a 4-game winning streak.

Left winger Paul Bissonnette was returned on loan and sent back down to the Baby Penguins today, after playing against New Jersey and Montreal this past week.

The way it looks right now, the fourth line will probably consist of Bissonnette – Tommy Goebel – Aaron Boogaard.

Wheeling Nailers forward Rob Sirianni is being loaned to the Phantoms, and he will be in the opposing line-up tonight.

John Curry is expected to get the start in between the pipes for the Pens.
