YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - The longest weekend road trip of the season begins tonight in Youngstown at 6:15 CST for the Fighting Saints. The Phantoms are tied with the Fighting Saints for third place in the Eastern Conference standings, but Youngstown has played two more games than have the Fighting Saints.

The Phantoms are just 2-4-1 over the course of their last seven games, although they have won two of their last three. *Matthew O'Connor *has shouldered the load between the pipes for the Phantoms - he leads the USHL with nearly 1,700 minutes in net this season, to go along with his 2.70 goals against average. Offensively, veteran forward *Mike Ambrosia *has led the way, totaling 39 points, including a league-leading 28 assists.

The Fighting Saints will travel to Ann Arbor after tonight's game, and they will play Team USA (U17) tomorrow at 6:00 CST. The road trip will come to a close on Sunday with a 4:15 CST matchup against the Lumberjacks in Muskegon.
