The Checkers are in the second-round of the Calder Cup playoffs for the first time since 2011 after a 3-0 victory over the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins that marked the first series sweep in franchise history. The upcoming second-round series is the No. 1 vs. No. 3 matchup in the Atlantic Division Finals, with the Phantoms holding home-ice advantage as the higher seed. The teams split their eight-game, regular-season series with four wins apiece. The matchup was set by way of Lehigh Valley's 3-1 series win over the Providence Bruins that concluded Saturday evening.
