  On Wednesday night, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms tried to accomplish something they hadn't all season: complete a three-game winning streak.  Behind a five-point game from Colin McDonald, who had a hat trick and two assists, and two goals from All-Star Nick Cousins, the Phantoms downed the Binghamton Senators, 6-3, on Wednesday night at PPL Center.

Flyers get more affirmation on ‘future’ defensemen

Stolarz brilliant again as Phantoms hand Penguins 1st home loss

Photo: Nina Weiss/Flyerdelphia  Coming into Friday's battle at the Mohegan Sun Arena, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins had only lost two games all season. None of those losses had come at home.

Flyerdelphia Weekly Round-Up: November 14-20

Phantoms out-last Senators in high-scoring affair

Photo: Nina Weiss/Flyerdelphia The previous weekend was rough for the Phantoms. Three-in-three weekends are common in the AHL. This was not a memorable one for Lehigh Valley, as they dropped all three games to Hershey, Syracuse and the Binghamton Senators, the team they were facing again on Wednesday night. This time, the Phantoms got the […]
