The two teams met five times during the regular season with Rum River winning three times.
Both teams enter the playoffs red-hot. The Mallards won six of their final seven games, including victories over the division winner Hudson Havoc and second place Wisconsin Rapids Riverkings. Blue Ox are just as confident, riding a 10-game win streak.
