The Lehigh Valley Phantoms played a home-and-home series with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins last Friday and Saturday night, picking up three out of a possible four standings points. In the two games, Phantoms defenseman Mark Friedman had an assist, took four minor penalties in total — two of which were offsetting minors — and had a plus-two rating. A mostly positive stat line by itself, but as the subject of today’s Player Focus we’ll be taking a deeper look at his true impact on last weekend’s contests.
