Calm before storm.
The #WBSPens' season is on the brink in Game 2 of their best-of-three opening series with Lehigh Valley.
Last year, the Pens lost this game in OT and were eliminated. This year? We'll have an answer later tonight.

For the second year in a row, the #WBSPens open their Calder Cup Playoff run against their turnpike rival, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms.

Thank you, Jesse. Hopefully there's many of them to come!

#WBSPens beat the Monsters tonight, 3-0. They wrap their 2024-25 season at 40-24-7-1, fourth place in the Atlantic Division.

They will play Lehigh Valley in the best-of-three opening round, starting at home next Wednesday, Apr. 23.

#WBSPens wrap up their regular season tonight against the Cleveland Monsters, 6:05 p.m. at home.

β€’ If WBS wins in regulation and Providence loses in regulation, the Penguins will be the 3 seed and play Springfield in R1.

β€’ Any other result, WBS is the 4 seed and plays Lehigh Valley R1.

Massive, massive game tonight.
#WBSPens: 39 wins, 86 points.
Providence: 39 wins, 86 points.
Need I say more?

Okay, I will. A regulation win by WBS would guarantee they finish no lower than 3rd going into the playoffs. A loss would just about dash any hopes of a bye (pending other results).

This sets up a huge head-to-head between the WBS and Providence on Wednesday. Both team are tied in the standings with 86 points. The Penguins currently have the tiebreaker, but have not beaten the P-Bruins yet this season.

Trying to get back in the habit of posting here, but today is the end of a three-in-three for the #WBSPens, so we're firing up the Interactive Chat for our broadcast.

Send me questions (about any topic) here, and I'll answer 'em LIVE on the air during second intermission! No barriers on the topic!

A beautiful arena, but a house of pain for the #WBSPens in recent seasons.
The Penguins are looking for their first win in Laval since 2018, and they'll have Jesse PuljujΓ€rvi in their arsenal to try and do it.

We're back at CAA Arena for a rematch between the #WBSPens and B-Sens!
WBS won 6-1 on Friday, but things got rather chippy by the midway point of the contest. We'll see how much of that carries over to this afternoon when we drop the puck at 3:00 p.m.

#WBSPens have one more game before the holiday break, and it's against the Atlantic-leading Hershey Bears.
Hershey will be likely be playing sour after having seven goals hung on them yesterday by Toronto. Meanwhile, WBS is coming off of a seven-goal (and 74 penalty-minute) outing last night, too.

Wild one in NEPA tonight, as the #WBSPens rout Lehigh Valley, 7-2.
