The Phantoms are in the playoffs! The Phantoms are in the playoffs!
Finally, for the first time since 2009, the top minor league team of the Philadelphia Flyers is big in the hunt for the Calder Cup this season. After an unbelievable season, where they held a record of 48-23-5-0, they finished 2nd in the quality-heavy Atlantic Division, only behind the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. That’s also true for the league standings: the Phantoms were 2nd in the entirety of the AHL.
It had been an absolutely incredible season for the Phantoms this year, and seeing the top prospects in the Flyers’ pipeline in the playoffs is hopefully an indicator of things to come.
