Pre-Game vs. Albany 3/3

Greetings from the Glens Falls Civic Center, where the Adirondack Phantoms (21-29-2-2) and Albany Devils (23-19-1-10) have hit the ice for warm-ups. Adirondack looks to break out of a slump that has seen them lose six of their past seven (1-5-0-1). A regulation loss for the Phantoms would tie their worst eight-game stretch of the season. They were 1-6-1-0 between Nov. 28 and Dec. 15.

A couple of line-up changes for the Phantoms after last night's 4-3 loss in Bridgeport. The line of Tyler Brown, Mitch Wahl and Matt Mangene that went a collective minus-9 is no more, and Wahl appears to be a healthy scratch based on the pre-game rushes. Matt Ford takes his spot in the line-up.

Michael Leighton has also joined the Phantoms, and he will make his AHL season debut. It's just his second overall start since April 2012. The Devils, whose 10 shootout losses are one away from an AHL single-season record, counter with Jeff Frazee. The full lines, as always, are listed below.
