Overview
- Saturday's 6-1 win in Iowa closed Manitoba's regular season, but Texas held its result and the Moose settled in fourth at 35-29-5-3.
- The opening round is a best-of-three at Canada Life Centre with Game 1 on April 22, Game 2 on April 24, and a deciding Game 3 on April 26 if needed.
- The Jets loaned prospects Brad Lambert and Brayden Yager for the Moose playoff run, while Nikita Chibrikov was not on the loan list, which one report linked to a potential medical finding.
- Defender Elias Salomonsson remains in concussion protocol after an April 2 hit, and the coach said his recovery has included good and bad days with a recent failed test.
- Manitoba went 3-4-1 against Milwaukee this season and has not won a playoff series since 2018, with the Admirals taking their previous matchups in 2022 and 2023.
