The Odessa Jackalopes won a 2-0 game Thursday in Odessa to tie the CHL Southern Conference finals series with the Brahmas on Thursday.
Game 5 will be Saturday at NYTEX Sports Centre at 7:05 p.m.
The series is turning into quite a goaltender battle. Brett Jaeger was again solid for the Brahmas (stopping 31 of 32), while Juha Toivonen returned to net for Odessa and pitched a shutout with 18 saves. Toivonen, who missed Games 3 and 4 with an injury, is now 6-0 in the playoffs.
The game was tied until Paul Kelly scored for Odessa in the third period. Odessa then added an empty-netter.
