The Norfolk Admirals will open the North Division finals on the road Friday against the Adirondack Thunder in Glens Falls, New York.
Norfolk has been awaiting its opponent since defeating Trois-Rivières 4-2 in a best-of-seven opening-round series. The Thunder — the top finisher in the ECHL Eastern Conference and North Division — outlasted Maine in the first round, winning Game 7 Wednesday night.
Norfolk and Adirondack will play Game 1 at 7 p.m. Friday and Game 2 at 7 p.m. Saturday in Glens Falls before the series shifts to Scope for three games: next Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. If necessary, the teams will play the final two games at Adirondack on May 14 and 15.
The Admirals and Thunder met eight times during the regular season (five in Glens Falls and three in Norfolk). The Admirals won five of those contests, including four at Adirondack’s Cool Insuring Arena.
