The senior 'A' Cornwall Prowlers hockey team will skate in LHSAO playoffs, as the fifth seed, in a best-of-three wildcard series with the Pontiac Comets.

Game one is scheduled for Fort Coulonge, Quebec, on Feb. 22, at 8:30 p.m.

The Prowlers get the second game, to be played at Cornwall's multi-sport complex, on Feb. 23, at 8 p.m.

Should it be needed, a third match will go Sunday in Fort Coulonge, at 5 p.m.

The teams actually were even in the standings, but the Comets got fourth place based on the league's tie-breaking rules.
