Montreal sets sights on East Title; Winnipeg and Ottawa target playoff berth
TORONTO – The following scenarios are in play this week.
EAST DIVISION
- MTL WIN or OTT LOSS = Montreal claims East Division title; earns the right to host the Eastern Final at Percival Molson Memorial Stadium on Saturday, November 9 at 3 p.m. ET
- OTT WIN = OTT clinches postseason berth
- HAM LOSS and EDM LOSS = OTT clinches postseason berth
- Eliminates the possibility of OTT being impacted by a West to East crossover
WEST DIVISION
- WPG WIN = WPG clinches postseason berth
CROSSOVER RULE
If the fourth-place team in Division A – A4 – has more points than the third-place team in Division B – B3 (they cannot be tied), A4 will cross over and take the place of B3 in terms of playoff seeding. A4 will then compete against B2 in the Division B Semi-final.
