The Toronto Marlies and Chicago Wolves faced off for game four at Coca-Cola Coliseum on Thursday, June 18 in the Calder Cup Finals.
Puck drop is set for 7:00 p.m. ET in Toronto.
Just 60 minutes of hockey stood between the Toronto Marlies and a 4-0 sweep over the Wolves to raise the Calder Cup.
The Wolves weren’t strangers to a little pressure, though.
In order to get this far, they had to fight back from facing elimination in the Western Conference Finals, beating Colorado in games 6 and 7 to advance.
“Now we’ve got nothing to lose” said Wolves head coach Spiros Anastas. And it was enough to secure the win off of a Viktor Neuchev goal to make it 4-3 in overtime.
Read the game recap below for game four of the 2026 Calder Cup Finals between the Toronto Marlies and Chicago Wolves on FloHockey.

Jacob Quillan, who is playing just his second game of the series after a five game break, opened the scoring on the power play for the home team and got Coca-Cola Coliseum rocking just a few minutes after the opening goal.
Five minutes later, it was Villeneuve, Nylander and Haymes who pieced together a dangerous chance and forced the puck past Primeau to make it a 2-1 game.

Fists Fly In Post Game Fight Between The Chicago Wolves And Toronto Marlies | AHL Calder Cup Finals
Tempers flared at the end of Game 3 between the Toronto Marlies and Chicago Wolves. Watch the highlights below.
2026 NHL Draft Rankings: Top 75 Players Ranked By Chris Peters
Gavin McKenna leads the final NHL Draft rankings from veteran prospects analyst Chris Peters.
“There has never been a draft quite like the 2026 NHL Draft to my memory. Not as long as I’ve been doing dedicated draft coverage for the last 13 years. That creates excitement, some drama and a whole lot of unpredictability. Starting at the very top of this draft, the lack of certainty and the level of risk associated with each prospect creates heartburn for scouts and fans alike, but it does make things a little more interesting.”
