Ottawa Lynx get ready for playoff run

[oilmandan 688]

The Ottawa Lynx finished the regular season off with an outstanding 49-18-5 record, good enough for third place in the VHLM. They will face the Las Vegas Aces in the league semifinals. 

 

The Lynx were led offensively just about wire to wire by star defenceman Lando Baxter. He finished the year with 21 goals, 66 assists and 87 points. Dan Wilinsky had a strong second half of the season and ended up with 40 goals and 84 points. Roctrion King (39) and Chace Trepanier (34) were the only other players with 20+ goals. Kallis Kriketers was rock solid in net only sitting out 4 games and had a 46-18-4 record with a scintillating. 897 save percentage and 2.08 goals against average. 

 

The matchup with the Aces should be a tightly contested series. The Lynx had 7-5-2 record against the Aces, outscoring them 37-32. 

 

The series features a high powered offense against a stingy defense and could come down to who makes fewer mistakes and stays out of the penalty box. Most experts have the series going 7 games and very little wiggle room.

 

Well check in on the Lynx again next week and set the stage for the Founders Cup Championship
