Should Game Four be necessary, it is scheduled for Saturday, April 11, at 7:15pm back at the VFW Sports Center.

If no winner is decided in four games, a decisive Game Five is set for Friday, April 17 at the Maysa.

One More Time

A career-high four-point game propelled Bobcats forward to Willie Brown to the Central Division's Second Star of the Week in the final batch of weekly NAHL awards for 2014-15.

In Friday's 6-1 victory over Minot, Brown contributed two goals-including the game-winner-and two assists.

The South St. Paul, Minn., native also compiled a plus-five rating on the weekend. He also earned Second Star in the South Division with the Topeka Roadrunners on October 6.

Also playing a key role in Friday's victory was goaltender Alex Bitsakis, whose 31-save performance in the season's penultimate contest netted the veteran netminder an honorable mention nod for the divisional hardware.

Coming Up

Bobcat fans planning to make the trip to Minot for Friday's playoff opener can buy tickets at the Bobcat office during normal business hours.

Live coverage of Friday's postseason showdown will begin at 7:05pm locally on SuperTalk 1270, KLXX-AM, the radio home of Bobcat Hockey, and worldwide online at NAHL.FASTHockey.com, the official web television partner of the North American Hockey League.
