This weekend in Scottish ice hockey promises a thrilling continuation of the Playoff Quarterfinals. With the second leg underway, four teams will emerge triumphant, securing their spots in the upcoming Playoff Weekend.

Kicking off on Saturday, Dundee Comets will travel to Braehead to face the Paisley Pirates in what is expected to be a closely contested match. The Pirates hold a slight advantage after securing a 4-2 victory in the previous leg, but Comets are determined to level the playing field. Previous encounters between these teams have showcased their equal prowess, setting the stage for an intense battle on the ice.

Following their decisive victory against the Kirkcaldy Kestrels last weekend, Kilmarnock Thunder will be heading to Fife for the rematch. Having secured a 10-4 win previously, Thunder holds a comfortable lead going into the game. However, the Kestrels have displayed formidable performances this season, and they are determined to redeem themselves. Anticipate both teams to fiercely compete on the ice, leaving nothing behind.

This Saturday, Aberdeen Lynx will go head-to-head with North Ayrshire Wild. In their previous encounter, Wild capitalised on their opportunities, putting pressure on Lynx despite their victory. However, with only a 2-goal lead, Aberdeen Lynx, the reigning League champions, won’t be complacent. It’s worth noting that Wild secured a dramatic win in the second leg of the Playoff 1/4 finals via penalty shots at Auchenharvie just two years ago.

In another exciting matchup, Edinburgh Capitals will take on Dundee Tigers at the Dundee Ice Arena. Capitals currently lead by 6 points, but Tigers will have the home advantage, adding an extra layer of intensity to the clash. With the unpredictable nature of the SNL, anything can happen, and Tigers will be determined to make the most of their familiarity with the ice.

The Playoff format ensures that every goal counts, with scores from both home and away legs determining the winners. In the event of a draw, sudden death overtime and a thrilling penalty shootout will determine the ultimate victor.

Looking ahead, the victorious teams will advance to the semifinals at Murrayfield on April 13th. The semifinals will feature matchups between the highest and lowest seeded teams, with the winners earning a coveted spot in the final on Sunday evening.
