Notes
- This is a rematch of the 2012-13 Kent Cup, where Summerside defeated the Bearcats in five games to capture the league title. Truro would defeat Summerside to win the Fred Page Cup in Hubtown. The national championship, then the RBC Cup, was held in Summerside that season where Truro would defeat the Western Capitals in the round-robin, but Summerside would ultimately lose to Brooks in the final.
- The feature matchup is between the pipes, where we find All-Star goaltenders that were traded for each other. The deal on December 3rd sent Felix-Anthony Ethier to Summerside for Mavrick Goyer, defenseman Josh Steele, and future considerations. Goyer would go on to win the Goaltender of the Year award. Both have been excellent in the playoffs, but Goyer has faced more shots. He has made 364 saves in twelve games, compared to 202 saves in nine games for Ethier.
- The task for Truro will be to try and contain the high-powered Summerside offense, which boasts the top three scorers in the playoffs in Aaron Brown, Jacob Stewart, and Colby MacArthur, despite only playing nine playoff games this far.
- Colby MacArthur, the MHL’s scoring leader in the regular season, has recorded at least one point in every playoff game for Summerside thus far (a total of fifteen overall). Luke Munroe has the longest active point streak for Truro with eight in seven games.
