For the second consecutive game in the Calder Cup Finals, it took more than 60 minutes to find a winner. But this time it was the Checkers who came out on top thanks to a missile from Mike Benning.
The Checkers kept their playoff run rolling with a sweep of Laval in the Eastern Conference Finals, and now they’ll battle the Abbotsford Canucks for the ultimate prize in the Calder Cup Finals.
In front of a massive Coliseum crowd on Tuesday, Jesse Puljujarvi came through with the biggest goal of the season so far - a late Game 4 winner that pushed the Checkers into the Calder Cup Finals.
