Charlotte Checkers Roundup: Win And You’re In

The Charlotte Checkers are holding on to a playoff spot by the skin of their teeth with a very important goal in mind: close out the next three games. Charlotte currently holds the fourth and final playoff spot in the Central Division over the fifth place Cleveland Monsters. The Monsters have a one point advantage over the Checkers but Charlotte holds the lead by points percentage, the AHL’s tiebreaker, as they have one game in hand. The Checkers’ magic number is five to wrap up a spot, but at this point the math is simple: win out and the Checkers are in.
