The American Hockey League's 2019 Calder Cup Final is set. The Eastern Conference champion Charlotte Checkers will take on the Chicago Wolves, winners of the Western Conference, beginning Saturday night at Bojangles' Coliseum in North Carolina.
The Checkers, who were the AHL's 2018-19 regular-season champion and are seeking their first-ever postseason league title, advanced to the Calder Cup Final by eliminating the defending Calder Cup champion Toronto Marlies in six games. The Wolves, who won the Calder Cup in both 2002 and 2008 after previously winning two Turner Cup titles in the now-defunct International Hockey League, made it to the championship round this spring after ousting the San Diego Gulls, also in six contests.
Charlotte forward Andrew Poturalski (New Hampshire) leads all AHL players in Calder Cup scoring this season with 18 points on eight goals and 10 assists. Left wing Curtis McKenzie (Miami) is pacing Chicago in points this spring with eight goals and five assists for 13 points.
