Roster Notes
Alex Lyon is expected to get the start in net tonight against Rochester. He's started all but one of the team's last 19 games entering tonight's tilt.
Defenseman Will O'Neill will sat out Wednesday night's game to serve his one-game suspension from the left-handed swat at a Hershey player after the final horn in Monday's loss to the Bears. Expect him to be back in the Phantoms lineup tonight.
Mark Alt is nearing a return to the Phantoms' lineup after a shoulder injury in NHL preseason action resulted in surgery and a lengthy absence. He hasn't been officially reassigned from Philadelphia yet, though he did travel with the Phantoms to Rochester. He should be able to make his regular season debut next weekend.
Expected Scratches: Steven Swavely (healthy) and Reece Willcox (healthy)
