The two teams split their series last year with each winning at home. The Swarm won 20-11 on
March 29th. That was the first time in Swarm history that the team scored 20 goals in a game. Both Callum Crawford
and Jordan MacIntosh scored four goals.
The Wings won one week later in Philadelphia by a 15-13 as Crawford scored four goals again along with
Kiel Matisz. That was the last game that Evan Kirk started and played in net for the Swarm. Kirk
also started and played in the March 29th. Tyler Carlson has never played against the Wings in his career, the only team in the
NLL he has not yet faced.
