The bad news going into Game 2 was the absence of Travis Sanheim, as expected, but on the positive side of things tonight also marked the return of defenseman Samuel Morin. Morin, who hadn’t played since January 20th, played most of the game alongside Max Lamarche. This pair had played together earlier in the season, when Morin was healthy. The only other change in the Phantoms’ lineup was Radel Fazleev leaving the lineup and Tyrell Goulbourne entering. Dustin Tokarski got the start in net tonight.

Following the very first shift of the game Colin McDonald and Cole Bardreau skated over towards Valentin Zykov, the villain in the Sanheim saga.
