Just as the injury bug is striking the Flyers again and again, so too has it been doing some damage to their affiliate down with the Phantoms.
The Phantoms are working with a lineup which has already been a bit depleted due to call-ups to the NHL — missing all of Carl Grundstrom, Denver Barkey, and now Adam Ginning — and it’s just getting thinner. This weekend saw them on the road for a pair of games in Springfield and Providence, and quickly down two of their top players.
Alex Bump took an initial upper-body injury back on December 19, when he took a bit of an awkward looking hit on his first shift of the game and came off to the bench working his shoulder, before exiting the game completely.
