Phantoms 4 - Hershey Bears 1

The Phantoms scored two shorthanded goals on the SAME Hershey power play in dispatching the Bears 4-1 at Giant Center.

Felix Sandstrom had 31 saves in the win while Max Willman and Gerry Mayhew also scored.

Friday, November 12:

Providence Bruins 6 - Phantoms 3

Garrett Wilson had a "Gordie Howe Hat Trick" with a goal, an assist and a fight in the same game but it wasn't enough to overcome the potent Bruins' attack at Dunkin' Donuts Center in Providence, R.I. Zach Senyshyn had three goals and an assist to lead Providence. Gerry Mayhew and Brennan Saulnier also scored for the Phantoms in a feisty game that had four fights.

Saturday, November 13:

Springfield Thunderbirds 2 - Phantoms 1 (OT)

The Phantoms went toe-to-toe with the top team in the Atlantic Division and earned a standings point but ultimately fell in extra time on Hugh McGing's 3-on-3 goal. Max Willman scored shorthanded from Morgan Frost in the second period for the team's league-leading fifth shortie of the season. Felix Sandstrom had 28 saves and the Phantoms' penalty kill held the high-flying T-Birds to 0-for-5 on the power play. It was the first time this season that Springfield had scored only one goal in regulation.
