The Charlotte Checkers are one win away from playing in the American Hockey League’s Calder Cup Finals. The team beat the Laval Rocket again Sunday, 5-1, at Bojangles Coliseum to take a three-games-to-none lead in the best of seven Eastern Conference finals.
The Checkers have won seven straight playoff games and have outscored Laval 15-4 in the series. Game four is Tuesday night at 7 in Charlotte. A win would send the Checkers to the finals for the first time since 2019.
