In his last three games with the Phantoms, Bump has scored two goals and recorded four points. This included him scoring a goal and posting an assist in the Phantoms’ most recent matchup against the Bridgeport Islanders. With this, there is no question that the young forward is starting to impress.
With his hot stretch of play, Bump now has three goals, four assists, and seven points in 11 games. It will now be intriguing to see if he can continue his hot streak from here.
