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.
