The Week Ahead

Tuesday, Feb. 23 - PENGUINS vs. Hershey

Wilkes-Barre/Scranton returns to Cross Insurance Arena where they have outscored the Pirates 14-5 over the past two seasons. Portland took both games by the skin of its teeth in OT during a recent back-to-back series in NEPA.

The Pens quickly travel to Springfield to take on a Falcons squad that they have beaten eight-straight times. Rowney has five points in four games against Springfield this season.

Sunday, Feb. 28 - PENGUINS at Providence

Providence went through the entire month of January without a regulation loss and claimed Wilkes-Barre/Scranton as one of its victims on Jan. 24. However, the Bruins have dropped two of their last three games and will also be playing their third game in three nights come Sunday afternoon.
