The Checkers kept their positive momentum rolling in their Friday night matchup with Lehigh Valley, stomping out the Phantoms 5-2.
The visiting Checkers found themselves in a hole right off the bat, as the Phantoms opened the scoring just two minutes into regulation. That wouldn’t derail the Checkers, however, as their offense quickly punched back with a pair of their own – courtesy of a redirection from Logan Hutsko and a tic-tac-toe power-play tally finished off by Zac Dalpe – to snatch the lead from Lehigh Valley.
A couple of extraordinary individual efforts from Henry Bowlby and Chase Priskie early on in the middle frame kept the Checkers in the driver’s seat and extended their lead even further.
