It was a high-pressure game we're always on the line and the Cleveland monsters came out on top winning three dash two against the Hershey Bears leading the Firebirds to wait another game to find out who their opponent is.
The Firebirds were in Hershey PA to practice while they waited to see who the winner was. The firebirds closed out their series against the Milwaukee Admirals two days ago as they won 5-1 and closed out the series in five games.
Monsters defenseman Jake Christiansen managed to return to the playoffs after missing his last 10 games and scored the winner in overtime at 17: 31. It was the first time in the playoffs that Hershey lost on home ice.
As the Firebirds anxiously await their opponent, it's now a best of one which could mean a rematch of last year's AHL finals or a new series.
