Chicago survives with a big win over Rockford. Ondrej Pavelec makes 38 saves, 17 of them in the third, to preserve the win. Jason Krog got second star with the second goal. So on go the Wolves, and the conference final begins Friday at Rosemont in a traditional 2-2-1-1-1.
Who’da thunk the only division champ not to reach the conference final would be Providence?
The Grizzlies beat the buzzer to tie it up on Olivier Labelle’s goal, but they didn’t beat the Wranglers in OT and lost despite two Micheal Haley goals. Day off in that series (LV leads, 2-0), and then they’re back at it Thursday-Friday in West Valley City.
Day off at the Worlds.
