Lehigh Valley Phantoms News Release
Cleveland, OH - The Lehigh Valley Phantoms (3-1-0) again relied on stellar goaltending as they completed the two-game road sweep at the Cleveland Monsters with a 3-2 shootout win on Saturday. Carl Grundstrom beat Ivan Fedotov in the fourth round of the shootout to clinch it after Carson Bjarnason denied all four Monsters' shooters in acquiring his first career pro win.
Rookie Denver Barkey scored is first career pro goal while veteran Anthony Richard scored his second goal of the weekend.
The Phantoms held a 2-1 lead for almost the entire third period but Cleveland (2-1-1) finally found the equalizer down low on the first pro goal for Ryland Mosley with just 2:20 left.
Cleveland took the initial lead at 11:02 into the game when captain Brendan Gaunce deflected a power-play point-shot at the net front set up by Dysin Mayo.
Lehigh Valley equalized just over three minutes later with undersized newcomer Denver Barkey getting his nose dirty for a hard goal down low somehow keeping the puck alive off the right pad of Fedotov and eventually finding the back of the net at 14:15. Barkey's power-play goal was assisted by Alexis Gendron who connected with him on snappy passing across the line. Cooper Marody also received his second helped of the campaign on the play.
The Phantoms took the lead midway through the game with a 4-on-3 power-play goal rifled top shelf by Anthony Richard from the right circle on a set up from the left point by Emil Andrae who nothced his third assist of the season. Richard's shot deflected off the shoulder of Fedotov and made it through for his second goal of the weekend.
From there, it was a scrappy engagement the rest of the way with the Phantoms trying to milk their precarious one-goal advantage all the way to the finish line. Ryland Mosley had other ideas as he was able to muscle his stick through to get a piece of a short rebound on a scramble in the low slot following a rush and blast off Bjarnason by Monsters' defender Guillaume Richard.
Bjarnason snagged a pair of Cleveland efforts in the overtime period to push the game to a shootout where he would deny four more shooters.
Veteran Carl Grundstrom roofed his opportunity in the fourth round to seal the victory and the road sweep.
The Lehigh Valley Phantoms conclude their three-game road trip on Wednesday night at the undefeated Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins who are off to a 4-0-0 start.
"Haunted on Hamilton" returns to PPL Center on Friday, October 24 when the Lehigh Valley Phantoms host the Hershey Bears with plenty of SPOOKY fun for the kids including a costume parade wtih meLVin, trick-or-treating, and pumpkin painting.
