All-American series between the Erie Otters and Saginaw Spirit among OHL playoff openers

The Erie Otters won't need passports for their upcoming Ontario Hockey League playoff series.

Erie will remain on United States roads throughout its Western Conference first-rounder against the Saginaw Spirit. Their best-of-seven series opener is Thursday at the Dow Event Center.

The fourth-seeded Spirit will host the first two games at their Michigan rink, followed by games three (April 1) and four (April 3) at Erie Insurance Arena. If needed, a sixth game (April 7) also would be held there.
