Lehigh Valley Caps Weekend Series vs. Norfolk Tonight at PPL Center

April 11, 2015

Lehigh Valley, PA – The Philadelphia Flyers, parent club of the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, have returned on loan defenseman Mark Alt to the Phantoms. Alt was recalled on an emergency basis earlier today for Philadelphia’s regular season finale against the Ottawa Senators at Wells Fargo Center.

JustSports PhotographyThis was the second NHL recall this year for Alt who made his NHL debut on March 28th in Philadelphia’s 3-2 shootout loss to the San Jose Sharks. In 39 games with Lehigh Valley this season, the 23-year-old blueliner has recorded two goals, six assists, eight points and 18 penalty minutes.

The Phantoms conclude their weekend series with the Admirals tonight in a 7:05 PM showdown in downtown Allentown. It’s Fan Appreciation Night at PPL Center as hundreds of prizes will be given away in celebration of the best fans in the AHL. Lehigh Valley will also be wearing its specialty Allentown Police Department jerseys again which will be auctioned off through a live post-game auction immediately following Saturday’s game. Proceeds from the auction will benefit the Allentown Police Department.
