After their first road loss of the year, the Penguins pulled out a home victory last night at the expense of the Rochester Americans.
Both Jeffrey and Tangradi played their top games, which is something we want to see out of these prospects every game down here.
First place is still where WB/S sits with a 16-4 record, just 4 points ahead of Norfolk.
 
Chris Collins is still out with an injury.
Brad Thiessen will start in goal.

The Falcons are 11-10-0-1, which sits them at 4th place in the Atlantic division.
They definitely do not struggle offensively as a team, as they actually have more goals scored than Wilkes-Barre does.
The goals against is where the problem starts. They have allowed 70 to WB/S' 46.
 
Matt Calvert, their top prospect is their leading scorer on the team.
As a first year pro, he has started the season above expectations.
He is expected to be a top-6 forward in Columbus one day, sooner than later.
