The Hartford Wolf Pack and Charlotte Checkers will face off in an Atlantic Division First Round series to kick off the 2024 Calder Cup Playoffs. The First Round series will be a best-of-three matchup, with all three games taking place in North Carolina due to distance traveled.  

The Checkers, who will finish fourth in the Atlantic Division during the regular season, hold the home-ice advantage and the right to host the series. They are currently 39-25-7-0 and will conclude their season tomorrow afternoon against the Lehigh Valley Phantoms.

The Wolf Pack will finish fifth in the Atlantic Division and are currently 34-27-7-3.

This is the first-ever meeting between the foes in the Calder Cup Playoffs. They have faced off 48 times in the regular season since the Checkers entered the AHL in 2010. 

The series will kick off at the Bojangles Coliseum on Thursday night, April 25th, with the puck drop set for 7:00 p.m. 

The full Atlantic Division First Round series schedule is as follows:

Game 1: Thursday, April 25th, @ Charlotte (Bojangles Coliseum, 7:00 p.m.)

Game 3*: Sunday, April 28th, @ Charlotte (Bojangles Coliseum, 4:00 p.m.)
