2025 Calder Cup Finals Game Four: Abbotsford Canucks vs Charlotte Checkers

June 19, 2025

The Canucks were looking to regain control of the series with home ice, and boy did they ever! A huge five goal third period en route to a 6-1 win has given them a 2-1 series lead and a chance to move within a game of their first Calder Cup title tonight.

While they got some assists from their depth players, it was the best that they have to offer that led the way again for the Abbotsford Canucks in that 6-1 win in Game Three over the Charlotte Checkers. Four point games from Arshdeep Bains and Linus Karlsson, and Arturs Silovs stopped 28 of 29 Charlotte shots in the win.

Tonight's game is pivotal for the Canucks. A win sets up a chance to win the Cup at home. A loss ties the series and ensures that even if they win, it's gonna be in North Carolina. And with temperatures in the rink hitting 30C during Game Two, that's some pretty strong motivation to end this in the next two games.

Given how well they're playing, and no injuries to speak of, they should be rolling with the same lines tonight again. Watch for Charlotte to try and get their power play on the ice as much as possible tonight, so in other words, we would advise against a drinking game that involves shots every time a Checkers player loses their helmet.
