3 Stars of the Week:

Words to the Wisdom

18-year-old Zayde Wisdom scored his first two professional goals on Sunday afternoon at Hershey and had a chance for a hat trick in overtime before assisting on David Kase's winning goal to complete his three-point effort. The youngest player in Phantoms franchise history was a fourth-round selection of the Flyers in 2020 from the Kingston Frontenacs of the Ontario Hockey League. Normally, Wisdom would still be with his team in the OHL but their season has not started due to the pandemic thus allowing him to seize this opportunity to play with the professionals

Speedy Kase

Third-year Phantoms forward David Kase recorded three points in the Sunday win at Hershey including the overtime goal that came moments after he crushed a shot off the left post. Kase also scored the team's first shorthanded goal of the season on Wednesday against the Binghamton Devils. He was playing in his home country with Karlovy Vary Energie in the Czech Republic this past fall before returning to North America and it is obvious he has brought that same Energie back here in his supersonic rushes around the ice.

Millman's Debut

19-year-old defenseman Mason Millman is the latest Phantom to make his pro debut when he joined the lineup in Sunday's game at Hershey. As part of a Phantoms blue-line contingent of four rookies, Millman was on the ice for three Phantoms goals to post a +3 rating in the game. The fourth-round selection of the Flyers in 2019 from the Saginaw (MI) Spirit scored 13 goals and 31 assists for 44 points in the OHL last year.
