Phantoms struggling with early-season growing pain

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.
