All three home teams won their decisive Game 5’s yesterday, setting up a division finals round featuring four first-place teams against four second-place teams.
In the Atlantic Division, Hershey is facing Charlotte for the fourth time in the Calder Cup Playoffs. The Bears won their meeting in the division semifinals in 2023, but the Checkers prevailed in the division finals on their way to winning the Calder Cup in 2019, and Charlotte upset the two-time defending champion Bears in the first round in 2011.
Laval and Rochester are meeting in the North Division finals for the second time in four years. The Rocket swept the Amerks, three games to none, in their 2022 series.
Milwaukee and Texas are colliding for the third consecutive postseason and the fifth time overall. The Admirals eliminated the Stars in 2023 and again in 2024, both series going the full five games.
In the Pacific Division, Colorado and Abbotsford go head-to-head for the second year in a row. In the best-of-three first round in 2024, the Canucks eliminated the Eagles on a Game 3 overtime goal by Chase Wouters.
In the Stanley Cup Playoffs yesterday, Alex Petrovic broke a 2-2 tie early in the third period and sent Dallas to a 5-2 win over Winnipeg... Petrovic is a veteran of 485 career AHL games, including 58 this season with the Texas Stars... 2018 Calder Cup finalist Roope Hintz and 2023 AHL All-Star Thomas Harley recorded a goal and an assist apiece for the Stars... 2018-19 AHL scoring champion Carter Verhaeghe picked up another goal to help Florida past Toronto, 2-0... Verhaeghe, who played 211 games in the AHL before making his NHL debut, has scored 30 goals in 78 career Stanley Cup Playoff contests.
In yesterday’s action at the 2025 IIHF World Championship, San Jose Barracuda forward Pavol Regenda scored the game-winning goal and Iowa Wild goaltender Samuel Hlavaj made 17 saves in Slovakia’s 3-1 victory over Slovenia... San Diego Gulls defenseman Stian Solberg scored in Norway’s 2-1 loss to Czechia... Frank Nazar scored twice and added an assist for the United States in their 6-0 win over Hungary... 2023 AHL All-Star Lukas Reichel scored as Germany defeated Kazakhstan, 4-1... Marc-Andre Fleury made 16 saves for Canada in a 7-1 win over Latvia... Milwaukee Admirals alumni Eeli Tolvanen (2g, 1a) and Juuso Parssinen (game-winning goal) helped Finland to a 4-3 overtime win against France.
