YOUNGSTOWN PHANTOMS: The Phantoms come into the weekend tied for fifth place in the USHL's Eastern Conference with a 14-12-2-3 record, good for 33 points on the season.

Youngstown is led by rookie forward Adam Ingram, who has racked up 16 goals and 22 assists for 38 total points, which ties him for 11th most among all skaters in the USHL.

Forwards Jaden Grant (12g-11a) and Ryan Alexander (10g-7a) have also pitched in double digit scores for the Phantoms.

On the blue line, Trey Taylor has put together in impressive season to lead the team's defensemen with 20 points (4g-16a).  

Youngstown has pulled an impressive feat of only having two goaltenders play for them this season. Kyle Chauvette has appeared in 21 games en route to an 11-6-1-2 record with a 2.82 goals-against average and .908 save percentage, getting the lion's share of the playing time. He's backed up by Owen Bartoszkiewicz, who has seen action in 12 games, posting a 3-6-1-1 record, 3.32 GAA and .889 SV% for the Phantoms.

The U17s and Youngstown have seen each other three times prior this season as the Phantoms have taken all three matchups, a home-and-home to open the USHL season as well as a 2-1 win on December 30 at USA Hockey Arena.

After this weekend's trio, the two sides will not meet again until the final week of the USHL regular season, another home-and-home set in Michigan on April 22 and back in Youngstown on April 23.
