Helge Grans opened the scoring for the Phantoms with a strong play, muscling his way to the slot and capitalizing on a setup from Anthony Richard. His defensive prowess was also on display, as he made crucial saves, including a key block that prevented a potential go-ahead goal for Hershey. Grans' contributions were vital in helping Lehigh Valley secure their first victory since opening night and in limiting Hershey to just one goal throughout the game.
