GAMEDAY: Game 11 - Binghamton (5-5-1) at Lehigh Valley (5-3-2) 7:15 p.m. ET
ALLENTOWN, PA - The Lehigh Valley Phantoms have returned home for their first game at the PPL Center since a 5-4 regulation loss to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton back on October 19th. The Phantoms will conclude a home-and-home series with the Binghamton Devils tonight at 7:15 p.m. ET.
Lehigh Valley Phantoms Roster Notes
Anthony Stolarz sat out last night as the third goalie, so if there's any rhyme or reason to Scott Gordon's goalie rotation it would mean he's pegged to get the start tonight versus Binghamton. Carter Hart got the start Friday night in Binghamton, with Alex Lyon serving as backup.
James de Haas was the seventh defenseman Friday in Binghamton. It's possible he slides back into the lineup if Mark Friedman is held out of tonight's game. For what it's worth, Friedman did return after the vicious hit from behind he took from Blake Pietila. Friedman had a cut above his left eye.
Taylor Leier, who Scott Gordon said last Sunday in Hershey was not injured, is in fact injured. Is an honest injury update too much to ask for in hockey these days?
