The Rochester Americans clinched a berth in the 2025 Calder Cup Playoffs on Wednesday evening with a 4-2 win over the visiting Springfield Thunderbirds.
Rochester will play in the postseason for the 50th time in franchise history. The Amerks are six-time Calder Cup champions and 16-time league finalists; they reached the Eastern Conference Finals in 2023.
The Amerks are the second team to clinch a playoff spot out of the North Division, which will see five teams make the postseason. The top three finishers will get a bye into the division semifinals, while the fourth- and fifth-place teams will meet in a best-of-three first-round series.
