The Comets will finish as either the third or fourth seed in the North Division and will play either the Toronto Marlies (#1) or the Albany Devils (#2) in the opening round. The 2015-16 American Hockey League regular season concludes on Sunday and all playoff dates will be announced at a later date.
To ensure local Comets fans can get first chance to purchase tickets, single game playoff tickets will be available to the general public starting at 10a.m. on April 22, exclusively at the Utica Memorial Auditorium box office. Tickets will only be sold at the Labatt Blue Box Office (facing Cornelia St.).
