The Lehigh Valley Phantoms (9-3-1) are nearing the end of a tough 13-game stretch with 10 of those 13 on the road, and face a struggling Providence Bruins squad (4-6-2-1) while riding a seven-game win streak of their own.
The Phantoms made some roster moves in recent days, sending forward Tyrell Goulbourne to the Reading Royals (ECHL) to get in some game action having not played since November 2nd while sitting as the Phantoms' healthy scratch at forward.
Jordan Weal was banged up Wednesday and did participate in the morning skate in Providence, but Lehigh Valley called up forward Steven Swavely from Reading as an insurance policy in case Weal can't give it a go tonight.
After the jump, a full preview of everything you need to know in advance of tonight's game.

Roster Notes
Alex Lyon is expected to get the start in net tonight for Lehigh Valley, coming off three straight wins where he's allowed just one goal in each game.
Jordan Weal was banged up in Wednesday's win over Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, but took part in today's morning skate in Providence.
The Phantoms reassigned Tyrell Goulbourne to Reading to get him into some game action following a six-game stint as a healthy scratch. With Weal's status uncertain, the Phantoms called up forward Steven Swavely from Reading as insurance in case Weal can't play.
Andy Miele and Robert Hagg both remained out of practice, and Scott Gordon confirmed the two are getting closer to returning to practice and could be back as soon as next week. They won't play this week.
