Thunderbirds On Brink Of Playoffs

It’s a big day for the Springfield Thunderbirds.

They are in Bridgeport with a simple equation before them.

If they win the game in regulation time, they will secure a playoff spot.

There are six games to play and right now the Thunderbirds are on the verge of securing a playoff spot.

If the playoffs were to begin today, they would take on the Hartford Wolfpack.

The Thunderbirds will start Joel Hofer in goal. Hofer has been named the AHL Goaltender of the Month.

The Thunderbirds are going to be a little shorthanded for the game.

The parent club St Louis Blues have called up defenseman Matt Kessel. The former UMass standout will be making his NHL debut after being called up on an emergency basis.

Tuesday morning’s game starts with the pregame show at 10:15AM on Newsradio 560 WHYN.
