Things have been a little rough for the Phantoms on the goaltending front through the first half of the season. They’ve gotten some good performances from their starters, there’s no denying that, and that has made it feel like an even bigger blow when they lost not one but two of them — both Eetu Makiniemi and Cal Petersen — to long term injuries.
But the Phantoms got some much needed reinforcements ahead of this weekend’s three-in-three, with Aleksei Kolosov being assigned back to the AHL and giving the goaltending tandem (which was comprised of a pair of ECHL call-ups) a much needed boost.
