The Springfield Jr. Blues are in a battle for a spot in the NAHL Playoffs and will look to gain momentum this weekend against the Topeka Roadrunners in Springfield.
With 13 remaining games in the regular season, Springfield currently is in 4th place in the Midwest Division. They are 3 points behind the Fairbanks Ice Dogs for 3rd place and 4 points ahead of the Coulee Region Chill.
Only the top 4 teams in the Midwest Division will make the NAHL Robertson Cup Playoffs. Springfield wrapped up it’s season series with Fairbanks last weekend, with both teams sweeping each other on the road. Springfield does however have 6 of their last 13 games against Coulee Region, including the final two home games of the year on April 7th & 8th.
Springfield Head Coach Tony Zasowski is not looking too far ahead, acknowledging that Springfield must address the task at hand this weekend against Topeka.
“Our last series against Topeka, we split with them. Every game now is important and we need to treat them as such.”
“It’s March Madness time” says Coach Zasowski. “As we saw last weekend with Fairbanks, every game is going to have that ‘playoff-feel’ to it. Every point matters and will have playoff implications tied to them.”
