The Lehigh Valley Phantoms' first month of the 2026-27 American Hockey League (AHL) season is now completed. The Phantoms had a nice reprieve between Oct. 17 and Oct. 24, in which they had a full week off of games. Unfortunately, their rest might have been too nice, as the Phantoms were trounced 7-2 by the Syracuse Crunch.
Luckily for the Phantoms, they woke up on Oct. 25 and shutout the Belleville Senators 2-0. Unfortunately, in their last game of the month on Oct. 30, the Phantoms lost 6-3 to the Rochester Americans. Despite a rough start to the 2026-27 season, the Phantoms still had players who made the most of their time on the ice.
