Fargo-Moorhead Jets News Release
Fargo (ND) The Fargo-Moorhead Jets have announced the dates for their Best-of-Five North American Hockey League Central Division semi-final playoff series against their in-state rivals, the Bismarck Bobcats.
By virtue of finishing in second place, the FM Jets (34-21-3) will have home-ice advantage over Bismarck (31-23-4) which finished in third place in the Central Division.
Using a 1-1-1-1-1 format, the FM Jets will host Game 1 on March 31, Game 3 on April 7 and if needed, Game 5 on Sunday April 9 (tentative). Game 2 will be in Bismarck on April 1, and if needed Game 4 would be April 8.
All of the FM Jets' home games will begin at 7:30pm, while Bismarck's home games will start at 7:05pm
Though the FM Jets are the higher seed, Bismarck won the season series 8-4.
Two seasons ago the Bismarck Bobcats swept the Fargo-Moorhead Jets in three-straight games in the first-round of the postseason, abruptly ending the FM Jets' inaugural year. That season -much like this one - saw the FM Jets enter the playoffs as the #2 seed and Bismarck as the #3 seed.
