Abbotsford Canucks move within a win of Calder Cup title

The Abbotsford Canucks moved within one win of the Calder Cup by defeating the Charlotte Checkers 3-2 on Thursday in game 4 of the AHL final series.
The Canucks took a 3-1 lead in this best-of-seven series after Charlotte, which entered the final on an eight-game winning streak, lost three straight for the first time since January.
After being sidelined for five consecutive games, 20-year-old Jonathan Lekkerimäki returned to score twice, while goaltender Arturs Silovs delivered a standout performance with 32 saves to secure the win.
Game 5 is scheduled for Saturday at 9:00 p.m. ET at the Abbotsford Centre, where tickets have sold out, with some resale prices on StubHub exceeding $338 for non-obstructed seats.
A win in Game 5 would secure Abbotsford’s first-ever AHL championship, ending the Vancouver Canucks' 55-year history without an affiliate Calder Cup title.
