Note: Welcome to Round 2 of the Calder Cup Playoffs which gets underway this week with some practice time for the Moose who will welcome the juggernaut Griffins to town for Games 1 & 2 this weekend. They start off with a practice today and all eyes will be on prospect Elias Salomonsson, who slid hard into the boards after delivering a neutral zone check late in the 3rd, was seen testing out his shoulder and did not play the rest of the game.
