Griffins to Face Moose in Central Division Semifinals

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Grand Rapids Griffins will begin their defense of the Calder Cup against the Manitoba Moose in the best-of-five Central Division Semifinals. Seeding and the series schedule are still to be determined and will be announced no later than Sunday evening.

By virtue of Chicago’s 6-4 win at Rockford and Manitoba’s 3-1 loss at Cleveland tonight, Chicago has clinched the Central Division and the Griffins have been guaranteed a second- or third-place finish.

Grand Rapids currently stands second in the division with 91 points and leads the Moose by one. Grand Rapids can secure the second seed with a victory in tomorrow’s regular season finale on home ice against Cleveland at 7 p.m. Manitoba’s campaign concludes with a visit to Chicago on Sunday at 5 p.m. EDT.
