October is rounding out and we’re checking in after what was another difficult weekend for the Phantoms. They’ve just played their sixth game of the season across three weekends — and wrapped their first triple header of the season — and they have just one win, which came in a shootout, no less, to their name.
Some things have been working against them, to be sure. The schedule has been a real hurdle to establishing any kind of momentum — so far, they played one game on opening weekend, had a week off, then just two games the next weekend, then another week off before the triple header — and the lack of any mid-week games has been somewhat abnormal and made things a bit more challenging.
