Phantoms 2, Checkers 1: Lehigh Valley wins the longest game in AHL history

After the Phantoms 5-1 win Tuesday night, the only lineup change was Tyrell Goulbourne out and Steven Swavely in. Goulbourne has been in and out of the lineup during the playoffs with a minor injury. Alex Lyon once again started in goal, starting in back to back games. Little did anybody know that we were about to witness history.

1st Period

In what was a pretty chill first five minutes, the Phantoms had the slight edge. There best opportunity either team had early was when Greg McKegg received a pass down low, but his stick was tied up by Reece Willcox, denying him a shot at the net.
