The Youngstown Phantoms ended March with a four-game losing streak that ruined their hopes for a first-round playoff bye.

Now, the third-year USHL franchise is hoping to reverse its slump and secure home games for the first-round of the Clark Cup playoffs that will begin on April 16.

Tonight, the fourth-place Phantoms (30-19-7, 67 points) will try to shake their recent struggles when they welcome the seventh-place Chicago Steel (22-31-4, 48 points) to The Ice Zone in Boardman.

Saturday at the Covelli Centre, the Phantoms will take on the second-place Indiana Ice (34-15-7, 75 points).
