Lincoln opened the Clark Cup Playoffs by sweeping the number three seed, the Waterloo Blackhawks. Game two saw the Stars tallying six goals in the series clincher. In the regular season, Lincoln scored at least five goals 13 times and won all those games in those instances.
Key 2: Stand Strong With Shostak

Including three penalty kills in their last outing. They sit at the top of the USHL in penalty kills and have been the second least penalized team to start these playoffs.
Key 3: Get Pechar To 20 Goal
