FLINT \u2013 <\/strong>The Flint Firebirds will be holding the annual Paint the Ice event on Wednesday, April 8 at the Dort Financial Center. The event, which is sponsored by Kroger and benefits the Flint Firebirds Foundation, will allow fans to paint well wishes on the Dort Financial Center ice in advance of the second round of the OHL Playoffs.<\/p>\n

\u201cPaint the Ice has become a special tradition for both our organization and our fans.\u201d said Firebirds President Jeremy Torrey. \u201cWhat began as a fun way for fans to celebrate and reflect on an outstanding season following the Firebirds’ 2022 playoff run has grown into something even more meaningful. Through our new partnership with Kroger, it has also become a powerful way to help fight hunger in our community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Admission is free for Firebirds Season Members and just a $10 donation to the Firebirds Foundation is required for non-season ticket members who wish to attend. Proceeds will support the annual Firebirds Fight Hunger campaign during the 2026-27 season, as the Firebirds and Kroger continue a partnership aimed at feeding those in need in the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cPaint the Ice gives the community a chance to come together, have fun, and leave a lasting mark on the ice \u2014 all while supporting an important cause off the ice,\u201d said Cam Barrett, Head of Communications and Public Affairs for the Kroger Michigan Division. \u201cAt Kroger, reducing food insecurity is a top priority, and we\u2019re proud to join forces with the Flint Firebirds to help meet a real need in the community. It\u2019s a powerful reminder that when a community rallies together, we can help put more food on the table for our neighbors who need it most.\u201d<\/p>\n

Season Members will get priority admission beginning at 5 p.m. while general fans can enter at 6:30 pm. The event will run until 8 p.m. Both paint and paint brushes will be provided to all attendees wishing to paint a message on the ice.<\/p>\n

The Firebirds have advanced to the second round of the OHL Playoffs by virtue of a four-game sweep over the Owen Sound Attack. Flint beat Owen Sound by a combined score of 35-3, setting a record for the largest margin of victory in a playoff series in OHL history. The Firebirds are the first team to advance in the postseason and their second round opponent and series schedule is still to be determined.<\/p>\n

OWEN SOUND, Ont. \u2013 <\/strong>The Flint Firebirds scored five power play goals and rolled past the Owen Sound Attack, 6-1, in Game 4 on Wednesday night at the Harry Lumley Bayshore Community Centre. The Firebirds completed the sweep of the Attack and set a new OHL record for the largest goal differential in a playoff series as they outscored Owen Sound a combined 35-3 in the series.<\/p>\n

HOW IT HAPPENED:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Flint struck first in the first period with a power play goal. Nathan Aspinall carried the puck into the attacking zone, loaded up and zipped a shot past Matthew Koprowski to make it 1-0. Later, with Flint on another power play, Alex Kostov fed Jacob Battaglia in front of the net. Battaglia deked to his backhand and slid the puck home to give the Birds a 2-0 advantage.<\/p>\n

The Attack responded with a power play goal of their own in the second. Nicholas Sykora teed up Pierce Mbuyi for a one-timer from the top of the right circle that got through Mason Vaccari to make the score 2-1.<\/p>\n

But the Firebirds quickly responded with another power play goal. Aspinall\u2019s one-timer was blocked but Battaglia gathered the puck and hit Jimmy Lombardi at the back side. He guided the puck into the net to extend the lead back to two. Then, just over a minute later, Chris Thibodeau won a draw to Battaglia who put a shot on net. Koprowski made the save but the rebound bounce to Ihnat Pazii who slammed it home and put the Birds up, 4-1.<\/p>\n

Flint kept it rolling in the third period as Battaglia sent a wrist shot through Koprowski\u2019s legs on another power play. Aspinall later darted a wrist shot through traffic and past Koprowski\u2019s glove for the fifth power play goal of the game, which pushed the score to 6-1.<\/p>\n

The Firebirds completed their first postseason sweep in franchise history and became the first team to advance to the second round of the 2026 OHL Playoffs.<\/p>\n

POSTGAME NOTES:<\/strong><\/p>\n

It surpassed the 1998 series that saw the Belleville Bulls sweep the Peterborough Petes and outscore them 30-5\u2026Jacob Battaglia finished with five points on two goals and three assists. He leads the OHL Playoffs with 15 points\u2026Nathan Aspinall had two goals and two assists and is second in the league with 13 points.<\/p>\n

OWEN SOUND, Ont. \u2013 <\/strong>The Flint Firebirds struck for three goals in the first period and never looked back as they rolled to a 10-0 win over the Owen Sound Attack in Game 3 on Monday night at the Harry Lumley Bayshore Community Centre. The Firebirds took a 3-0 lead in a series that has seen them outscore Owen Sound a combined 29-2.<\/p>\n

HOW IT HAPPENED:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Firebirds opened the scoring in the first period when Darian Anderson sped in on net. He deked to his backhand and was stopped by Trenton Bennett, but the rebound bounced off an Owen Sound defenseman and in. Flint later extended its lead when Alex Kostov fed Brady Smith in front of the net. He hit Ihnat Pazii for a one-timer from the right circle and it was 2-0 Firebirds. Nathan Aspinall then fired home a snap shot from just inside the blue line and Flint\u2019s lead grew to 3-0.<\/p>\n

The momentum carried into the second period as Aspinall sprung Anderson down the right wing for an odd-man rush. Anderson snapped the puck to Jimmy Lombardi on the back door who guided it past Bennett for a goal. Just under two minutes later, Ryland Cunningham tipped a shot from James Paul in front of the net. The puck bounced through Bennett and the score was 5-0.<\/p>\n

Kostov netted his second of the game only 35 seconds later. He skated the puck into the offensive zone and flicked a wrist shot from the top of the left circle that found the mesh. Less than a minute after that, Anderson skated down the right wing and squeaked a shot through Bennett, extending the Firebirds\u2019 lead to 7-0.<\/p>\n

That would be it for Bennett who was pulled in favor of Dylan Durno after allowing seven goals on 17 shots.<\/p>\n

Flint continued to pour it on in the third period as Aspinall cashed in a breakaway goal in the opening minute of the final frame. Jacob Battaglia later forced a turnover and found Chris Thibodeau in front of the net for a goal. Finally, Brady Smith snapped a wrist shot through Durno\u2019s leg on another breakaway to get the Firebirds to double digits and a 10-0 lead.<\/p>\n

Mason Vaccari faced a total of 32 shots and stopped all of them as Flint cruised to the decisive Game 3 win and the 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven series.<\/p>\n

POSTGAME NOTES:<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

LAST TIME OUT: <\/b>The Firebirds exploded for 11 goals as they cruised to an 11-1 win over the Owen Sound Attack in Game 2 on Saturday night at the Dort Financial Center. Nine Firebirds had multi-point games and all but four skaters recorded points as Flint took a 2-0 series lead.<\/p>\n

A HISTORIC START: <\/b>Flint set franchise records for the second consecutive game as the Firebirds eclipsed the franchise marks set in Game 1 for the most points and the highest margin of victory in a playoff game. The Birds had never scored double digit goals in a playoff game before and the 11 goals scored are more than any home game in franchise history, regular or postseason. Flint has outscored Owen Sound a combined 19-2 thus far in the series.<\/p>\n

TOP OF THE CHARTS: Jacob Battaglia <\/b>leads the OHL in goals (3), assists (6) and points (9) thus far this postseason. Battaglia followed his franchise record six points in Game 1 with three more in Game 2. Nathan Aspinall, Kevin He <\/b>and Chris Thibodeau <\/b>are tied for second in the league with six points through two games, each having recorded two goals and four assists.<\/p>\n

HOME VS. ROAD: <\/b>Owen Sound had far more success on home ice in the regular season than it did on the road. The Attack went 18-12-2-2 on home ice and just 9-20-2-3 on the road. The Firebirds had nearly identical splits; Flint was 22-8-3-1 at home and 22-9-1-2 on the road.<\/p>\n

PLAYOFF HISTORY: <\/b>This will be the second time the Firebirds and Attack have met in the postseason in franchise history. Flint beat Owen Sound in seven games in a first round match-up in 2022. Owen Sound has not won a playoff game since May 3, 2022, a 4-0 shutout over the Firebirds in Game 6 of that series.<\/p>\n

ODDS AND ENDS: Mason Vaccari <\/b>has made 49 saves on 51 shots in the series thus far…the Firebirds are 8-for-11 on the power play and have four power play goals in each game so far. Flint’s single-game high in the regular season was three power play goals, something it accomplished twice…Kevin He <\/b>leads the OHL in plus\/minus at +7. Chris Thibodeau <\/b>and Dryden Allen <\/b>are tied for second in the league at +5.<\/p>\n

FLINT\u00a0\u2014<\/strong> The Firebirds jumped to a commanding 2-0 series lead over the sixth-ranked Owen Sound Attack this week. Both games were played at the Dort Financial Center, as Flint earned home-ice advantage in the best-of-seven series with a third-place finish in the Western Conference. Their all-time record against the Attack in the playoffs now stands at 8-3.<\/p>\n

The series started on Thursday with a highly-physical affair. The Birds capitalized, scoring three power-play tallies, followed by one even-strength goal to lead 4-0 through the opening frame. Mason Vaccari kept the Attack off the scoreboard entirely until under four minutes remained in the contest. The Birds cruised to an 8-1 triumph to lead the series 1-0, giving Vaccari his second-ever OHL Playoff win in a 24-save performance. Jacob Battaglia led the charge, scoring twice and assisting on four goals for six points, a new franchise best. It was the second time he\u2019d scored twice in the postseason and the first time he picked up more than three points in a playoff game. Chris Thibodeau (1 G, 3 A) and Nathan Aspinall (1 G, 3 A) each recorded four points, and both Jimmy Lombardi (1 G, 2 A) and Kevin He (3 A) picked up three points in the game. The seven-point victory and eight goals are both new records for Flint.<\/p>\n

RECAP<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0GAME CENTER<\/a><\/p>\n

Once again, Flint scored four unanswered goals in the first period on Saturday to start Game 2, but this time brought even more offense and scored 11 unanswered in the contest. With only four seconds on the game clock, former Firebird Cole Zurawski spoiled another shutout bid for Vaccari, resulting in a final score of 11-1. It was another penalty-filled outing, with the Birds capitalizing with four goals on the power play and two shorthanded. All but four of Flint\u2019s skaters registered one point, led by four players who logged three points apiece. Kevin He scored twice and pitched in a helper, and Ryland Cunningham, Darian Anderson, and Battaglia had a goal and a pair of assists each. Cunningham also had a fighting major, giving hime a Gordie Howe Hat Trick. Now, 11 goals in a playoff game stands as the franchise\u2019s best, surpassing the previous record set just two nights prior, as does the ten-point margin of victory. Vaccari made 25 saves in another stellar performance between the pipes.<\/p>\n

RECAP<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0GAME CENTER<\/a><\/p>\n

Flint outscored the Bears by a combined count of 19-2 this week. They also outshot them 78-51. Faceoff wins, however, favored Owen Sound 70-54. The Birds went eight-for-11 on the power play across the two games while allowing only one goal against through nine shorthanded situations. While Kitchener remains perfect in both facets of special teams after only one game, Flint is now second in the postseason, scoring at a 72.7% clip through two games.<\/p>\n

LEADERBOARD<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vaccari\u2019s 1.00 goals-against average and save percentage of .961 both rank second for playoff goaltenders with two starts. He trails only Joey Costanzo (WSR) in both categories. Four Firebirds sit atop the OHL\u2019s leaderboard as of Sunday morning. Battaglia leads everyone with nine points (3 G, 6 A) in two games. Aspinall, He, and Thibodeau are tied for second with two goals and four helpers each. Ihnat Pazii carries the most playoff experience on Flint\u2019s roster, having played in 23 postseason tilts, including 16 games with the North Bay Battalion in their run to the Eastern Conference Finals in 2024.<\/p>\n

COMING UP<\/strong><\/p>\n

The series heads to Owen Sound for games 3 and 4. The action resumes Monday at the Harry Lumley Bayshore Community Centre. Game 4 takes place on Wednesday. Puck drop for both games is set for 7:00 p.m., and fans can follow all the action on 103.1 FM through Flint and mid-Michigan or online via the\u00a0US 103.1 app<\/a>. The Firebirds\u2019 road record against the Attack in the playoffs is 1-2. If necessary, Game 5 is scheduled at the Dort Financial Center for Saturday at 7:00 p.m.<\/p>\n
