At long last, Wade Allison made his season debut this weekend. After being sidelined with a high ankle sprain since the Flyers’ second rookie game in September, and then with the Phantoms seeing a handful of their games postponed due to their opponents dealing with Covid outbreaks, it’s been a long road back to action for Allison, and his first pair of games back with the Phantoms were good ones.
He picked up one assist, 10 shots on goal, and scored in yesterday’s shootout, and all in all had himself a pretty productive weekend. His excitement was palpable, and he was buzzing through each of these two games—which, we should add, both ended in wins, bringing the team’s season total up from three to five.
