The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins did their part and won their regular-season finale on Saturday, but the Providence Bruins' win elsewhere moved the Bruins back into the No. 3 seed in the Atlantic Division and Wilkes-Barre back to No. 4.
That means that Wilkes-Barre will face the Lehigh Valley Phantoms in the best-of-three first round, a rematch from last season. The Phantoms swept the Penguins 2-0 in last seasons' meeting between the two in the playoffs.
Game 1 is in Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday, and Game 2 in Allentown on Friday. Game 3, if necessary, will be in Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.
