MacIntyre & McLean Battling For Calder Cup

Two former standouts with the Trenton Sting have advanced to Round Two of the American Hockey League's Calder Cup Playoffs.

Goaltender Drew MacIntyre and his Manitoba Moose team-mates advanced to the second round after defeating the Grand Rapids Griffons in an exciting seven game series.

In the series, MacIntyre played in all seven games while facing 208 shots and allowing only 12 goals against for a 0.942 save percentage to lead all goaltenders after the first round. He also leads with a 1.65 GAA and had one shut-out.

The Moose are now playing the Hamilton Bulldogs in Round 2.

Meanwhile former Sting Captain Kurtis McLean and his Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins also advanced after beating the Norfolk Admirals in six games.

McLean, a rookie in the league, had one goal and two assists in the first round while only taking one minor penalty.

The Penguins will face another challenge in Round Two as they now face the Hershey Bears.

Both McLean and MacIntyre's series begin on Wednesday night (May 2nd) and we wish them both the best of luck.

Update: Both Kurtis and Drew played well but their teams were knocked out of the playoffs in the second round.
