The Phantoms will drop the puck for the last time in their inaugural season tonight at 5:05 against one of their biggest East Division rivals.
Today the Lehigh Valley Phantoms close out their inaugural season in Allentown against the most fitting partner and their most intense rivalry this season, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. Sunday’s late-afternoon puck drop between the Phantoms and the Penguins marks the 12th and final meeting between the two new rivals, with Lehigh Valley earning a 5-5-1 record against Wilkes-Barre this season, and 2-2-1 versus the Penguins at home.
The Phantoms final weekend of play was a tiring one, as the team will complete its last leg of a three-in-three weekend, after traveling to Norfolk and Hershey this weekend.
