Wednesday, January 19: Lehigh Valley 3 @ WBS 1
Fresh off their first victory of the season over the Hershey Bears, the WBS Penguins opened their week with a midweek contest against the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, their seventh game out of 12 this season against their rivals from Allentown. The first 40 minutes produced nothing in the way of goals, with Lehigh Valley’s Felix Sandstrom fending off 18 WBS shots and the Penguins’ Alex D’Orio saving 17 Phantoms shots.
In the third period, the much-maligned WBS special teams let them down, as Wade Allison and Linus Sandin scored power play goals at 3:57 and 10:41 of the third period.
