The Lehigh Valley Phantoms clinched their first playoff berth since 2009 this week, but with two games left on the regular season calendar this weekend, there’s definitely still a lot to play for. Home ice. First round opponent. What will it be?
The Phantoms will close out their season with games Friday against Providence at home and Saturday on the road against Binghamton. Here’s what the standings look like entering the final weekend:
