Notes
- The griffins faced the elimination before their match 3 match against the stars on Friday at the Heb Center of Cedar Park. Grand Rapids has a 15-16 file for all time in the face of elimination, including 4-9 on the road.
- The scratches have played 14 series of five best series of all time, and it is only the third time that they drag 0-2. The last time was in the quarterfinals of the Western 2015 conference against Toronto when Grand Rapids rallied to win the last three games, becoming only the 11th team in AHL history to return from a 0-2 deficit to win a series of five best.
