Standing in the way of the Marlies making it the third time is the charm are the Atlantic Division champions, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms.
Philadelphia’s AHL affiliate accumulated 104 points on their way to clinching the regular season divisional title, finishing second in the Eastern Conference in the process. After proving their superiority against Atlantic Division rivals in rounds one and two, the Phantoms progression to this stage sets up an Eastern Conference Final series that will represent just the third playoff meeting in the last 18 years between the AHL’s top two regular-season teams.
