Grand Rapids lost just 16 times in regulation this season, although Manitoba did hand them their first road regulation loss back in January. The season series went in the Griffins favour as they finished 6-1-1 against the Moose.

The first two games will be played in Winnipeg, starting Saturday, May 2, and Sunday, May 3, with both games set for 2 PM CT.
The series will shift to Grand Rapids for the next three games with Game 3 on Wednesday, May 6 (6 PM CT), Game 4* on Friday, May 8 (6 PM CT), and Game 5* on Saturday, May 9 (6 PM CT).
