Greetings from way, way above the Wells Fargo Center ice, where the Adirondack Phantoms (20-25-2-1) and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins (26-22-2-1) have just concluded their warm-ups.

Adirondack is 2-0-1 in games in Philadelphia since moving to Glens Falls. They've won the last two.

They say they have sold this place out, and it is filling up fast. They are anticipating one of the largest crowds in American Hockey League history. Terry Murray is excited for the younger Phantoms.

One of those younger guys, Cal Heeter, is between the pipes. The rookie gets his first taste of an NHL atmosphere. Tom Sestito has joined Adirondack on a conditioning assignment and will play tonight.

Brad Thiessen counters for the Penguins, who have a player, Chad Kolarik, that is pretty familiar with Philadelphia. They've also brought a rookie up from the coast. Full line-ups, as always, are below.
