The schedule has been set for the Atlantic Division Finals of the 2017 Calder Cup Playoffs, with the Hershey Bears ready to take on the Providence Bruins.
Game 1 will be Saturday night at Giant Center.
The two lower seeds in the Atlantic Division advanced with road wins in their winner-take-all Game 5’s on Sunday afternoon. Providence finished off an upset of the AHL’s regular-season champions from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, while Hershey eliminated Lehigh Valley with their third road victory of the series.
