The Lehigh Valley Phantoms had three games this past week, two of them coming against the reigning AHL champion Charlotte Checkers. The third came against the Belleville Senators. While the Phantoms swept the two games against the Checkers, they came up just short of the trifecta against Belleville.
A 3-2 win last Wednesday, 5-4 overtime thriller Friday, and a 2-1 loss Saturday night puts the Phantoms at fifth in the Atlantic division with 21 points. Lehigh Valley trails Springfield & Wilkes-Barre/Scranton by three points in the standings.
Third Star
Cal O’Reilly started slow this week, posting no points in the first game against Charlotte.
