After a dreadful Friday night where the Lehigh Valley Phantoms allowed five power play goals, they bounced back in a huge way against the Springfield Thunderbirds by successfully killing off all eight of their penalties. So, having played the same team on back-to-back nights, how were they able to have such a quick turn around? A change to their play in the neutral zone, cleaner zone exits, and strong goaltending are all to blame.
Game one neutral zone play
For the majority of Friday's game, they were primarily in the 3-1 trap, although not really by choice.
