Last season's runnerup in the Central Hockey League takes to the ECHL playoffs for the first time tonight in California. It will be a tough series for the Eagles who are without star forward Chad Costello, who is ineligible for the playoffs.
Stockton, meanwhile, went 4-6 in their last ten and nearly coughed up the 5th spot to Utah and Idaho. They allowed the fourth-fewest goals in the regular season in the conference, but the offense was worse than all but Utah, Idaho, and the Bakersfield Condors.
