The Phantoms have not allowed a power play goal in six consecutive games, killing off all 26 power plays they have faced in that time... Sunday's game completed a season-long six-game homestand for the Phantoms... Philadelphia was off on Saturday night for the final time this year, and just the second idle Saturday all season...
