This week:

The Wolf Pack play their fourth three-game weekend of the season, starting with a home game this Friday vs. the Hershey Bears. The new Friday-night Wolf Pack faceoff time this year is 7:15 PM. The Pack then hit the road for a pair of contests, visiting the AHL-leading Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins for a 7:05 game Saturday night and then returning to Bridgeport Sunday at 5:00, for another crack at the Sound Tigers.

Friday, December 4 vs. the Hershey Bears (Washington) at the XL Center, 7:15 PM

- At this and every Friday-night home game this season, fans can enjoy $1 hot dogs and $2 beers through the start of the second period.

- The Wolf Pack will be unveiling their red third jerseys in this game.

- This is a "Making Strides Pink Night" at the XL Center. Special benefit tickets can be purchased for $20, with $10 of that ticket price benefitting the American Cancer Society's "Making Strides" fight against breast cancer, as well as helping with at-home care expenses of the families of ACS patients.

- 7:15 PM is the new faceoff time for all Friday-night Wolf Pack home games this year.

- This is the third of four games on the season between the Wolf Pack and the Bears, and Hershey's first visit of the year to the XL Center. The Wolf Pack took three of a possible four points from the Bears in a pair of earlier meetings in Hershey, with a 3-2 overtime loss and a 3-2 shootout win. Hershey, though, swept a pair of games between the two teams in Hartford last season, winning 1-0 in overtime October 19 and 5-3 on March 7.

- The Bears currently sit in third place in the Atlantic Division, with a record of 10-6-0-4 for 24 points and a .600 points percentage. Hershey had been unbeaten in regulation in five straight games (4-0-0-1) before losing 3-2 at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Saturday night.

- Hershey's leading goal-scorer, Paul Carey (9-4-13 in 20 GP), comes into the week with four goals in the Bears' last four games.

Saturday, December 5 at the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins (Pittsburgh) at the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza, 7:05 PM

- The Penguins are an AHL-best 16-2-0-0 for 32 points and an .889 points percentage, and have reeled off four consecutive victories since having a franchise-record 11-game winning streak snapped in a 3-1 loss at Binghamton November 20.

- This is the third encounter of the season between the Wolf Pack and Penguins and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton has won both, including a 4-1 verdict in the Pack's first visit of the year to Wilkes-Barre October 30.

- Penguin forward Scott Wilson has scored twice in both of the previous games between the Wolf Pack and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, and netted the game-winning goals in both clashes. He leads the Penguin club in goals and is third on the team in points, with 11-7-18 in 17 games.

Sunday, December 6 at the Bridgeport Sound Tigers (NY Islanders) at the Webster Bank Arena, 5:00 PM

- This is already the Wolf Pack's third visit of the season to Bridgeport and they are 0 for the first two, with Saturday night's 5-2 setback following a 1-0 loss in the first battle November 8.

- Joe Whitney's hat trick, the Sound Tigers' first of the season, against the Wolf Pack Saturday night lifted Bridgeport's scoring leader's totals to 8-15-23 in 19 games on the year. Former Wolf Pack Justin Vaive added an AHL career-high three points in that game, with a goal and two assists.

- Saturday's victory over the Wolf Pack is the Sound Tigers' only triumph in their last four games, but Bridgeport remains second in the Atlantic Division with a 14-7-1-0 record, 29 points and a .659 points percentage.
