The Adirondack Phantoms bounced back from Saturday's OT loss against arch-rival Albany to post their first road victory of the season this afternoon in Bridgeport.
Several milestones were reached in Adirondack's 4-2 win, which was the Sound Tigers' second in a row after four victories to open the season.
Goaltender Brian Boucher was reassigned by the parent Philadelphia Flyers prior to the game for conditioning, and he met the Phantoms in Bridgeport. Boucher stopped 29 of 31 shots for his 60th win with the AHL franchise.
Adirondack captain Jared Ross scored one goal and set up another, his 199th and 200th points in the AHL. He was named the game's first star. Alternate captain Jason Ward, who last week became a father for the third time, celebrated with an assist and his 100th career AHL goal, the winner with 7:04 left in the second period.
Playing his second straight game, veteran forward Krys Kolanos also chipped in with a goal and an assist for Adirondack, sealing the win on an empty-netter in the final minute.
The Phantoms play next at home on Friday night against Hartford, then head to Albany for Game 2 of 12 in the Time Warner Cable Cup series against the River Rats.
