In a re-match of Friday night’s blowout loss, the Phantoms looked to right the ship last night by knocking off the very same Springfield Thunderbirds that dropped seven goals on them just the night before. After a back and forth game, and third period tie at two, the Phantoms would allow two goals in 18 seconds just six minutes into the period. On the verge of dropping back-to-back games, they needed someone to start the comeback.
Enter two rookies, the first being 2015 5th round pick, David Kase.
With goaltender Anthony Stolarz pulled, and with just under two and a half minutes remaining in the game, Colin McDonald found Chris Conner at the red line, who then sent the puck to the front of the net where Kase was able to put home his first professional goal.
