Putting an end to their busy schedule, the Phantoms will play their sixth game in nine days tonight as they welcome the IceCaps (18-20-5-1) to the PPL…
On November 14, 2015, Shayne Gostisbehere was recalled from the Lehigh Valley Phantoms and made his season-debut with the Flyers.

Wins in six straight games and seven of their last eight. Of freaking course. Just when we started to think we had a realistic shot at Jack Hughes or Kaapo Kakko, the Flyers start winning. Whatever we want them to do, they do the opposite. We even called a win streak like this one the…
