The score is tied two goals a piece. Fifteen seconds are left on the game clock. There is something wrong with Connor Ingram’s left leg. He’s been flexing it since the scramble in front of his net at about the 15 minute mark of the third period. The last thing he wants to do is have to stop a breakaway with the game on the line.
Yet, here comes Lehigh Valley’s Mike Vecchione busting down the center of the ice with nothing between him and the goalie but a sheet of ice. The Phantoms forward draws the puck to his forehand and shoots.
