The Wolf is about to face the Wolves.
The Stockton Heat have earned a spot in the American Hockey League final four after defeating the Colorado Eagles three games to one in the best-of-five Pacific Division Final playoff series.
The Heat and Chicago Wolves finished the 2021–22 regular season with the two best records in the AHL. Fittingly, they’re the final two Western Conference teams standing in the 2022 Calder Cup Playoffs.
Stockton spent most of the year in possession of the AHL’s top record before being passed by Chicago on the final day of the regular season.
