The Week Ahead
Saturday, Dec. 11 - PENGUINS vs. Hershey
A week's delay merely afforded Penguins fans more time to gather more fuzzy friends to donate at the team's annual Teddy Bear Toss Night. At the Penguins' first goal, fans will throw unwrapped, stuffed toys onto the ice to be donated to children in need this holiday season. Saturday also marks the first meeting of the season between Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and Hershey.
Sunday, Dec. 12 - PENGUINS vs. Springfield
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton faces off against Springfield for the third time this season, but this will be the Atlantic Division-leading Thunderbirds' first visit to Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza. These two clubs' previous two meeting both went to overtime. The Penguins emerged victorious in the first game, 4-3, but lost in the shootout the next time, 5-4.
