Toledo Walleye Drop Game 1 in Western Conference Finals

The Toledo Walleye, utilizing goalies sponsored by the Detroit Red Wings, are currently trailing 1-0 in their best-of-seven Western Conference playoff series against the Kansas City Mavericks. The Walleye's impressive 22-game winning streak came to an end on Friday night when the Mavericks secured a 3-2 victory in Toledo.
Former Michigan State goalie John Lethemon, under a two-way contract with the Red Wings, was in net for Game 1. Lethemon made 19 saves on 22 shots.
Game 2 Tonight
Game 2 is set for tonight in Toledo at 7:15 p.m. If the Walleye keep their goalie rotation, Jan Bednar, the 2020 Red Wings draft pick on a Grand Rapids Griffins contract, will start. Both goalies have contributed to the Walleye's playoff success, each securing four wins. Lethemon holds a 2.13 goals-against average, while Bednar is close behind with a 2.20 goals-against average.
The Walleye will be looking to even the series and try to put momentum on their side for game 2.
