Wednesday, December 26: Lehigh Valley 5 @ WBS 3
The WBS Penguins emerged from the Christmas break in their black jerseys, per the current AHL custom of switching home and road jerseys after the festive break, to play host to the Lehigh Valley Phantoms on Boxing Day. The first period belonged to the newly acquired Ben Sexton, who scored his first goal for WBS at 14:45 of the first period.
Sexton doubled his goal total in the final seconds of the first period as he threw a puck at Lehigh Valley goaltender Alex Lyon from behind the goal line, but got it through into the net anyway.
