Phantoms getting outmatched in 2nd round

Cal Petersen pulled off a jaw-dropping save on a 2-on-1, denying Jimmy Huntington a goal after a slick pass from Ivan Miroshnickenko. Petersen's glove swooped in just in time, stopping the puck inches from crossing the line. But despite his heroics, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms suffered a heartbreaking 5-1 loss to Hershey.

It was a tough pill to swallow for the Phantoms, who fought hard but couldn't catch a break. Hershey seemed to have an answer for everything, playing with precision and resilience. Despite outshooting their opponents and creating chances, the Phantoms couldn't find the back of the net when it mattered most.

Ethan Frank stole the spotlight, netting two crucial goals and adding an assist for a standout performance. His dominance, along with Hendrix Lapierre's contribution, proved to be too much for the Phantoms to handle.


With the Phantoms now trailing 2-0 in the series, the pressure is on as they head into a must-win game in Allentown, PA. It's a do-or-die moment for the team, with their postseason hopes hanging in the balance.
