The Firebirds and Admirals are now locked in to a post-season berth following Friday’s AHL action
Two more teams have punched their ticket to the Calder Cup Playoffs.
The Coachella Valley Firebirds, who reached the finals in their first season of play last year, and the Milwaukee Admirals, both clinched a playoff berth on Friday.
The Ads earned a shot at the Calder following a Chicago Wolves shootout loss to the Iowa Wild, while the Firebirds locked their slot following a shootout loss to Bakersfield, where they earned the pivotal point to clinch.
The Firebirds, with 83 points, and Admirals, 77, join the Hershey Bears as the only clubs to presently hold a playoff berth for the 2023-24 AHL playoffs.
