Phantoms Update: Strange Days Indeed by Bill Meltzer @BillMeltzer / philadelphiaflyers.com
For many long months during the extended offseason, there were no guarantees of whether there would be a 2020-21 American Hockey League season at all amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. After much adjustment and planning, the campaign finally got underway in February following an abbreviated training camp.
The Lehigh Valley Phantoms, as with the parent Philadelphia Flyers, are playing an entirely intra-divisional schedule.The Phantoms schedule consists of 38 games (between Feb. 6 and May 16). Lehigh Valley will play 14 games apiece against the Hershey Bears, Wilkes Barre/Scranton Penguins and Binghamton Devils (who have temporarily relocated for this season to the parent New Jersey Devils' home base at the Prudential Center complex in Newark).
