Prediction:

Offense: Even

Defense: St. Cloud Cathedral | Has given up three or more goals in only five games this season

Goaltending: St. Cloud Cathedral | Eight shutouts this season | Mahtomedi's Brad Wohlers has been HOT in the playoffs but his regular season was inconsistent. Wohlers will need to continue his sizzling playoff performance if the Zephyrs plan to move on to the semifinals.

My prediction: St. Cloud Cathedral 5, Mahtomedi 2
