The Checkers put themselves back in the win column Tuesday night, taking down the Phantoms by a 3-2 score. 
Zac Dalpe found the back of the net late in the first to open the scoring and then set up Cam Morrison in the early stages of the second to push the home side on top, and the Checkers took a stranglehold on the lead from that point on.
The Phantoms would put up a fight, finding the scoresheet quickly in response to Charlotte’s second goal, but Henry Bowlby extended his squad’s advantage by cleaning up a rebound on the rush early in the third.
That would ultimately prove to be the difference for Charlotte, as Lehigh Valley struck once more late in the contest with an extra attacker on the ice to narrow the advantage back to one. Backstopped by Alex Lyon and his 20 saves, the Checkers held firm, however, and picked up a pivotal division win.
