Pre-Game vs. Portland 3/24

Greetings from Glens Falls Civic Center, where the Adirondack Phantoms (26-33-2-3) return home after a seven-game, 15-day, state-basketball-tournament-induced road trip to take on the Portland Pirates (35-23-3-2). This kicks off a stretch that will see the Phantoms play nine of their final 12 games at home. They go with the same line-up that they did last night at Connecticut, and why shouldn't they? The power play scored four goals and Jason Akeson broke the team's scoring record.

There is one change, though. Tye McGinn, who wore an alternate captain's "A" on his jersey last night didn't wear one for warm-ups. Will have to ask coach Terry Murray about that after the game. If nothing changes, it looks like defenseman Danny Syvret will be the only letter-wearer for this one.

Cal Heeter gets the start in net. Scott Munroe is presumably still ill, so Brian Boucher is backing up again. Mark Visentin gets the start for Portland, who is dressing heavyweight Joel Rechlicz. Derek Mathers is playing for Adirondack. You wonder what will happen if those two are on the ice together.
