#USPHLPlayoffs: The @toledocherokeeusphl are looking hungry as ever to make it back to the #USPHLNationals for the first time since 2023. The #OTGWG from Anthony DiFlora put the Cherokee just one win away from a trip to Wayne, but their rivals of three decades, the Metro Jets, will not go lightly into Saturday night, as it's win or go home for the Great Lakes' top seed. In addition to DiFlora's GWG, Trevin Johnson's second period goal evened the score at 1-1. In net, Austin Nowak stopped 45 of 46 shots in net for the win. Rostislav Efremov was also a force in net for Metro, stopping 43 of 45 shots. Be ready for Game 2 at 7 p.m. EST Saturday.
